Thanks all for your responses. As in any event there are a multitude of opinions and ideas. In any event like this, you have to start somewhere. The decision was made to keep the first one small and build from there. One of the things we wanted to show was the great numbers that could be achieved. What has come out of this are two new driving techniques for Prius and FEH. They will be published shortly.

I couldn't agree more. Given the conditions we couldn't make it happen on this event, however I hope it will be a big part in future events.

Great points. I have a TDI. I wanted to include it. It wasn't to be in this event.

All good points. You're reading my mind.
