The PLUGGED IN 3 wheeler was built in 1997 for the Sandhill Challenge gravity race in Menlo Park, California. Jan built this one with some underprivileged high school students. The students had a desire to enter the race however, they didn’t have a car and their school had no shop, so Jan invited them to his shop. This is what they built under Jan's supervision. They ended up winning the high school division and placing third overall against 55 of the biggest, high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. Some of the companies they were up against included Stanford Linear Accelerator, NASA, Lockheed Martin. This car is now in the Tech Museum in San Jose, California.
