Only nine days away! I finally got a reply back from one of the X-Prize teams I wrote to a few weeks ago. The FourSight X-Prize car will be at Hybridfest. It's in a Honda Insight body, modified (I'd love to see how) to seat four adults. It's a through-the-road parallel hybrid: 110HP electric up front, 800cc turbodiesel in the back.

Eric, will they have a booth at the Expo? How does the expo work, and who else will be showing their car?

I will be attending, and I really hope to get there at PSL+9 on a single tank (700mi, 70mpg, >70mph). I placed a metals order last week (which was supposed to be here on Monday but is still not in), and I hope to complete a temporary Insight boat tail this weekend.

So, if anyone wants to help drive my (hopefully) boattailed Insight partway from Buffalo, NY to Madison, WI, please send me a PM. Preferably someone I've met at a prior EM gathering.
