Re: alternative energy drag racing, santa pod raceway 23rd april
Thanks EV Dub for starting this thread so I don't have to!
I am actually running the event, and I know it sounds too good to be true, but we are offering free entry and track time to everyone with an electric or alt-fuel vehicle.
Take a look at the website and get involved! It's fun free and could be good promotion for what you are doing. I know it's drag racing, but everyone is welcome, no matter how fast or slow you are.

Proof that even slow things can come and play:

Rick - I've sent an email enquiry via the AER website, but thought "belt & braces" wouldn't hurt and I've put my query here as well .
Would it be okay to bring along my modified C5 that we used to climb "Test Hill" at Brooklands ?

I shall be there, taking my modified E-trike this year, going to see if it will do 60mph.
Re: alternative energy drag racing, santa pod raceway 23rd april
I've entered either the old "Junkyard Dog"
(it's looking like I'll still have it...)
Or something new, if ready,
Or maybe even both...
Should be fun
Cheers

hey Ed
I noticed your heading to santapod from plymouth. If you need a ride, i'm hiring a flat bed to transport my golf from axminster area, there would be enough space for a bike i should think.

This is the sort of thing that renews your faith in people as a species, and in things like the BVS
It's this kind of positive, "can-do", helpful attitude that makes life better
Dave, you are a star
Thank you for the offer
I'm in Plymouth, and I bought a Nissan Largo recently, to carry things like an EAPC (or a TWEV, if ready.....)
I am very grateful that you thought to ask, but I aim to go direct with whatever is ready tucked inside the wagon
That is, If I make it, health being a bit low presently, but gotta keep hoping...................
All the best, and thanks again, from Ed.

Don't you love it when your project's "80% finished" ? It's so satisfying to know there's only 80% left to do...
