    I don't know if any of you watch the annual Great Race, but it is a race that used to only have vintage cars, muscle cars, etc competing for cash prizes.

    Their web site says
    It looks like a time/speed/distance race and doesn't have an mpg component to it. (Although it'd be interesting to hear how the hybrids do mpg-wise.)

    Does anyone else regularly watch the results from this race, or have you had it go through your town? I'm interested in hearing more about it.

    Also is anyone from PriusChat entering the Great Race this year? I couldn't find any discussion about it on the boards.

    True enough ... however a limited number of teams are going to be allowed to compete for the $25,000. (see link: http://www.greatrace2008.com/index.php/Gre...hnologies/2007)
