The meet-up started at about 11:00 AM and lasted until 3:00

All totaled we had about 30 people come. Not everyone stayed the entire time, as some came for a while and had to leave, and others came a little later and stayed to the end.

First we had a meet and greet

Lunch was provided by Beechnont Toyota.

Then the Prius tech gave a presentation and answered questions. He was followed by Steve Woodruff of Autobeyours.com and Jay Groh

Lastly we had a Fuel Ecomony Challenge.

Here are some pics.

Thanks for posting the pics and the write up. I see our friend Hobbit was in attendance. Got to give him credit, he really gets around. In two weeks he will be in NY at A.M.E.C.'s upcoming E-R III event.

Any results from the fuel economy challenge?

Mike
