For one thing, it was a whole lot of fun. It was like time traveling back to over-the-highway long distance races of yesteryear. And not to be ignored, the win paid five grand and we could use another. The second Escape from Berkeley will be spring of 2010, Berkeley to Mexico this time.

Track will be standard Metro. and the greenhouse narrower than the space between the tires--there will be room for two in the cockpit but not much extra. The narrow greenhouse reduces frontal area, plus (and I hate to admit this is important, but I don't want to be the only guy that builds one) it'll give the body a racy enough look to excuse the racy doors. The doors will be in the greenhouse only, you'll have to step over the sides of the main body--and when driven as a roadster (roof and side windows removed) it won't have any doors at all. Jes' keepin' it cheap.
