Instead of a East Coast Version, how about a cross country version.
East/West I-10 or I-20+ I-40 or I-80
East/West I-10 or I-20+ I-40 or I-80

SPECIAL EVENT: Speed Ventures is hosting the REFUEL Alternative Vehicle Demonstration at MAZDA Raceway Laguna Seca on Sunday June 30, 2013. We will have one or two regular car run groups available that day. The rest of the day will be made available for electric cars and motorcycles.

Where do you live? I'm curious if we get more folks hauling cars in at the beginning, or the end of the event!
For me, I can drive home afterward without even a recharge.
Did you find the thread on the all-EV "ReFuel" Event at Laguna Seca on July 1, 2012? With any luck, we'll be able to work that in, too.

My conundrum as well. Will run the Honda if I can find a tire solution.TonyWilliams said:KeiJidosha said:MAZDA Raceway Laguna Seca on Sunday June 30, 2013.

Well, for some reason, I thought that was going to be the next weekend. Are you going to run the Honda?
I'd really like to participate. I wonder how many others would, though? It's slightly more than 1000 miles from Blaine, Washington to this event. There is just absolutely no way to get there in one day.
MMmmmmm.

TonyWilliams said:Well, logically, the fastest any LEAF could go 1000 miles is about 3-4 days.
Maybe we should launch BC2BC mid week, maybe Monday, June 25 ?
That gives everybody the weekend before (June 23-24) to trailer the cars into Washington and a gentleman's pace to Laguna Seca?
leec said:Anyway, I'd rather start on the weekend; I have little interest in a half-day at the track especially when the opportunity cost is participation in the (first ever?) multi-vehicle electric rally along the length of the West Coast.
If the starting day is going to shift or dissolve into a start distributed across multiple days, please let me know so that I may change or cancel the ($300+) reservation of the day-use area at the Peace Arch Park on the 29th. I'll also send out another notice to the EAA chapters in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland so that people don't show up to a non-event.
World record from West coast to East is 7 days . . . . what . . . . are you slackin' ??Nubo said:I'll be riding BC to BC next spring on my bicycle, southbound. But I think it's going to take more than 8 days.
leec said:The ranger with whom I spoke upon reserving the Peace Arch Park said that it books out months in advance of Summer due to weddings and such-like. I'll hold the reservation for that date as I have until 29 days prior to cancel for a nominal fee. I guess I was taken in by the title of this thread into thinking that was the final date and the details to be worked out were things like the course and rules.
