  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Solar Car 
Team from Byron Nelson High School in Trophy Club, Texas. The seven-
member Bobcats Solar Racing Team will be participating in the 2010 
Hunt-Winston School Solar Car Challenge. The eight-day cross-country 
event tests the teams' abilities to build a vehicle powered exclusively 
by solar energy and drive it from Texas Motor Speedway in my district 
to Boulder, Colorado.
  The Winston Solar Car Team was launched over 15 years ago as an 
education program

will embark upon the 900 mile cross-country race at 8 a.m., Sunday, 
July 18, 2010.

Solar Team's advisors, captains, and members who were instrumental in 
the support and building of this remarkable vehicle:

  Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to commend the hard-working and 
visionary students comprising the Byron Nelson High School Solar Team, 
competitor in the 2010 Hunt-Winston School Solar Car Challenge. It is 
an honor to represent Northwest ISD, Byron Nelson High School and its 
Solar Car Team in the U.S. House of Representatives.
