Local authorities stop the Michigan solar car for a couple minutes because visibility on the road was reduced to almost zero as heavy smoke from burning bush engulfed the area on day three of the World Solar Challenge competition on Tuesday, October 18th, 2011. This morning, Quantum stayed a bit behind the Challenger and Nuna 6, partly because of that stop, with Challenger increasing the distance to 25 minutes. Tuesday, October 18, 2011.
