“I’m the one sitting on the hood of the car”, Steven Marzec, MatE 94, said in an e-mail. “Some other pictures along with the article were published in the Summer 1993 Alumni Magazine. The others in the photo are, from left to right, Brian Cox [EE 90], Lucas Grote [ME 97, MS ME 99] and Andy Shelley [ME 94].
“We were trying to start a Georgia Tech electric vehicle club, and we were sponsored with a car to build for the first Clean Air Grand Prix at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. We got the car built and finished, but were unable to race due to some last-minute problems,” said Marzec, now a customer support representative and lead operating system analyst developer with the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tech and Emory.
Marzec good-naturedly agreed to recreate the photograph, taken near the Coon Building.

Marzec hasn’t changed one bit. Well, apart from his hair! It was great that you were able to track him down after all these years.
