On Sept. 8, the cars built by students participating in the Winners Circle project at Waverly and Candor were tested at State Line Auto Auction in Waverly, N.Y. by Chris Dyson, professional racecar driver and part of the Dyson Foundation. In the early stages of the project, the Dyson Foundation assisted in getting things off the ground. The idea behind the Winners Circle project was an idea that Dyson got on board with after talks with Pius Kayiira, the current executive director of the Winners Circle Project. The Sept. 8 test run was a checkpoint, as the cars will soon be auctioned off at State Line Auto Auction in Waverly on Sept. 17.
