It's so good to see so many EcoModders lined up ready to go to this year's GGP.
I also plan to be there with my brother Steve.

You 100+ mpg guys are going to ruin my chances of winning anything - but driving at Watkins Glen is a blast - I'm in! As usual, my brother Steve will navigate.

MetroMPG noted that it's so early in the year, there's little or no time to do any new mods. That's true, but its true for all of us - unless someone has a nice garage.

I've usually managed to do one or two things in preparation for the GGP, in addition to correcting any issues that developed over the winter. This year? Likely two new front tires, and removal of an approx. 44 lb. deep cycle battery that's become essentially useless. More mods, if I can manage it...
