I need a navigator, anyone here interested?

Sorry :/

You joining us for, durr. Never mind, stage 2 and 3 is at the same time. Bob put me in stage 3. I was going to offer you a ride in stage 3 and promise to not break 80, but I guess it's just me and US...lol

This looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I'll try to see if I can make it out next year.

I hope I don't hit my head on the ceiling jumping up and down! I have big plans for that week, concluding with the GGP, and hopefully breaking 50 MPG- I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

I wasted at least 15 minutes of some guys time at the gym today rambling about it. I bet he wishes he never asked about my car now!

UltArc, if you're shooting for >50mpg, does that mean you'll be driving the Mustang? My guess is that either Insight would easily break 50 mpg with one wheel tied behind the rear bumper.

OK guys, I want to ask for your help.
Anyone driving or navigating in this year's Green Grand Prix -
Please pm me asap.

I just might be able to help you score better in the track event's rally points component. This will be year 5 for me at the GGP - I like to think I've learned a couple things by now.

I will set up a pm discussion for a bit of strategic planning.
Careful analysis after last year's GGP yielded some very interesting results.
But we need to discuss it privately, so I need to know who is going.
Any GGP navigators reading this, you should be in this discussion too.

So please pm me asap.
I should have started this up a couple weeks ago - but life got in the way.
So pm me.

Thanks!
Bruce

Any Ecomodders here interested in being my Navigator? Duties include being ballast around a track, reward is dinner at the Glen lodge reward ceremony.

I've turned on my tired Traction battery because i was having issues charging the 12 volt. On the weekend it's getting some long overdue maintenance done. Hopefully i don't need to use the battery at all or a force Regen will kill me on the track. I've decided to enter it as stock so i compete in the same category as the only other 2000 MT Insight. BTW my car is automatic CVT. I could have entered is as modified and basically been given a free win, but i felt that was not in the spirit of competition and distasteful. So on the 17'th it will be a battle of the Automatic vs Manual Insight. we will see...

I believe my competition lurks this forum...

Anyone who is registered for the 2015 should check the email address used when they registered as Bob Gillespie has sent out the first round of items specific to the event. (Check "junk" or "spam" boxes just in case...)

NINE DAYS 'TILL TRACK-MAS! Ho-Ho-Ho!!!
