    I did not take any pictures or videos this year so I'm relying on you to post some pictures!

    If you have pictures of my car please let me know.

    Here is my one and only picture I took this year. Its a little big and I hope the forum software resizes it. You can right click on it and save as if you want to see the whole thing.

    There are a few pictures on Flickr from the event including a few pics of the exclusive Ford event on Friday. I have more to post, but haven't gotten them back from the photographer yet. If you have any feel free to add it to the Hybridfest Green Drive Expo 2009 group on flickr.

    Please feel free to watch the videos and read the stories on the Hybridfest Green Drive Expo 2009 press page.

    There is also some video featuring Wayne Gerdes and another one featuring the Ford Engineer Praveen Cherian out on the internet.

    If you have never seen Wayne speak before, this is a good one. L.A. Examiner Matt Kelly wrote an article about Wayne and is the one who shot the nearly 10 minute video.

    If anyone at PriusChat, Ecomodder or CleanMGP writes something up from the event please be sure to let me know so we can put it up on the press page!

    There are also videos about Toyota, Madison Gas & electric and more.

    Hi Matt, the course was approximately 25 miles long. It had to be done in 51 minutes for no penalty. The penalty was 2% off the achieved fuel economy per minute. After 61 minutes, the competitor would be disqualified. There is a course map at http://www.greendriveexpo.com/HFGDE.pdf

    It was great to see some old and new faces at Hybridfest. It really was a lot of fun.
