Upcoming Event in S FL - Battery Beach Burnout

Hi Everyone,

The Florida Electric Auto Association is hosting the 4th annual Battery Beach Burnout (batterybeach.com) in Jupiter, FL on Feb 21&22, 2009. This year’s event is going to be the largest one yet as we are expanding our focus from electric vehicles and including Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids this year as well. We are expecting huge participation from spectators and participants. The 2 day event will feature electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrids in acceleration testing, autocross and other events. There is also going to be a ride and drive event to give people the chance to actually drive the vehicles there on site. There should be between 80-100 vehicles on display.

Sunday is going to be the Autocross. Hybrids are about efficiency and fuel economy, right? True, but they are a lot of fun to drive as well! The Prius may look like a bulky car, but it handles very well on the track. Take a look at a video of my Prius on a course last year: Do a YouTube search for "autocross prius" - it should be the first result - a black '07 Prius.

The event is going to be lots of fun, be sure to register on the link above.
