By J. Sidney Malone| Smile Politely Verified After one year away and another virtual, the Champaign-Urbana Oktoberfest is returning this weekend.

Sidney Malone| Smile Politely Verified On a hot, humid summer evening, string bags, water bottles, and walking shoes are strewn around the walls of a small, dusty gymnasium on the north side of Champaign. On the court, two dozen 12- and 13-year-old boys run laps, do drills, and play basketball. The team gathers here together twice a week.

In just a few days, the drivers, crew, and Brizo, their solar-powered race car, would head to Independence, Missouri for the American Solar Challenge. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 American Solar Challenge was postponed. That meant this race would not just be the first race with Brizo but the first that the team had competed in since 2019's Challenge.
