With the help of St. Louis-based Cooper Bussmann, the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) Solar Car Race Team has taken top honors at several major solar car “rayces.” (The term “rayce” is used by all solar car competitions as a nod to the power of the sun's rays.)

UMR's Solar Miner III placed second in its class in the Formula Sun Grand Prix 2001 at Topeka, Kan.; second overall in the American Solar Challenge 2001 from Chicago to Los Angeles; and fourth overall at the World Solar Challenge 2001 in Australia.

Bussmann donated a quantity of its FWX series 35A and 80A semiconductor fuses and 35A JJN T-Tron very fast-acting power fuses to provide circuit protection for the solar vehicle.
