Hi Its me again. Well I got some info on the May 13,2006 outing to the route 66 speedway. Okay all that would like to come. Lets meet up at 409 north Chicago street Elwood IL 60421. This is the Elwood school parking lot, about 3 miles from the race track. We will meet up at 7am and leave there @ 7:45 am parade to the route 66 speedway. I got a e-mail from one Ted from the AFV EXPO witch is one of the people that are sponsoring this outing. this is what he had to say.
Anyone participating in the Expo with a hybrid (or other AFV)
will get in free including everyone in their vehicle. You can also race against the clock (or a friendly
gentleman's match perhaps) on the Drag Strip before or after the NEDRA electric racing competition.
i plan to race my electric truck if only for a photo op and a novel experience

On Expo day, try to arrive by 8 or so. The gates are open to the public at 9. Enter the venue
from Rt 53 entrance #11 and get into the "AFV entrance" from there.
Okay as you see we need to be there by 8am. thats the reason for the early am meet up. Also they would like for us to hold a Q & A. for the Prius and Priuschat.com Any volunteer. Please let me know. If you have any questions please e-mail me thanks Bob. and also maybe we can start a head count on the number of cars that may attend.
