Anything that isn't engine destroying ethanol is a good thing.

The people behind big ethanol deserve a white-hot place in hell.

Good luck SS EV

I remember the first day they came to Skater.

Peter looked at their canopy design and said that if they crashed, somebody would probably die. We sent them home with a canopy in the back of a pickup to see if it would fit on their boat.

It did, so Pete had a new one laidup.

That team is working really hard on the project though. I think they may actually do it.

One intersting thing, the one guy on the team is the brother of one of the guys on the Princeton team that set the record last year.

He wants to do better than his brother.....:sifone:

Somewhere I have some pics of the build part at Skater.

I'll find them.

I also took a bunch of pics for them with their own phones while they were going inside the other raceboats there at that time.
