Rally Green ends Friday Aug 20 in San Francisco

Rally Green is a spin-off creation of several X Prize car builders. It concludes at Green Gears in San Francisco. Unfortunately, there may only be a few cars entered but you can follow a blog of some Maine builders' entry called Dirigo. It is a diesel reverse trike with a real "boat-tail". They used cedar strip canoe technology to build the back half of the fuselage.
