According to a quick google search, HHO has something to do with a hydrogen generator. Is that right?
But no matter what that stands for, why would HHO guys/gals showing up getting 100-300 mpg make the current competitors seem silly. Right now, someone with some mechanical and construction skill can take a $6K gas-powered brand-new bike; much cheaper than that if buying used; put a lot of time and effort in this hobby and with less money than what someone with a golf hobby would spend in a couple of years, come to the mid-Ohio and achieve near 200 mpg on a regular, gas-powered, modified motorcycle. Isn't 200 in between 100-300?
We have competitors with modified e-bikes that are achieving well over 300 mpg-e with batteries and plugging up at this event already. If I'm not mistaken, any number over 300 is more than 300.
So I ask again, why would HHO riders (whoever that is) make everyone look silly when they come in at 100-300 mpg or mpg-e? Yes they are welcome. Please come if you exist or come after you exist. More and newer technologies are good, but we're not going to look silly on ICE and/or e-bike until someone shows up with something that generates nuclear reactive power for propulsion; or has a way to remove friction from the atmosphere while riding as a method of drag reduction, but in the case of the latter, we'll never get them stopped to give them the trophy, and in the case of the former, no one will want to be near them unless it's low-energy nuclear power, and if its that, none of us will even care if we look silly, we'll just want to be there, and we'll join the rest of the world at apologizing to Pons and Fleischmann's families!
