Just like building a car, assembling Rally Green is all about parts. I've had wonderfully supportive conversations with people in Colby, Kansas: " Oasis on the Plains", Lincoln, and Delta, Utah. In Delta, we've been offered use of their downtown park thick with big shade trees. In Lincoln, we'll be in a restored section of the city called the Haymarket which is a popular destination and should be crawling with people on the Sunday afternoon we'll be there. Bob Colbert continues to work tirelessly to host us in fine style at the start in Knoxville. The flip side is that Rocky Mountain Institute has no interest in what we're doing, so I am back to square one in Aspen. Regarding lodging, I've discovered CouchSurfing.org. There are people in most of our stops that will offer us a place to sleep. I don't think I can arrange a couch for every one, but I encourage you to check it out. It will be a great way to meet locals and show off the cars. I have an old friend who's offered to tow his old race car trailer behind his truck and be support vehicle. Any one of our cars will fit inside, except Dave's bio mass pick-up, and he'll have tools and can lug any spares for us. This is a huge up-grade to the event. He's also a really nice guy and very experienced mechanic. Both Roo Trimble and Jay Perdue have had very successful first runs. Check their web sites for details. Jay has actually done this before on a recumbent trike powered with a small gas engine. I am really looking forward to the dynamic as all these very interesting people hit the road together and make this Rally happen. George Packer, our lone X Prize contender, is in Michigan with the eVaro as we speak. I have no doubt he'll win and buy us drinks all the way to California. Good Luck George! With the oil spill front and center in the news, the re-thinking of installing more offshore rigs, and oil consumption in general in the fore front of many people's minds I think the timing of Rally Green is excellent. We'll be showing thousands of people how they can take direct action to use less oil. How simple could it be? We know that this country could cut gasoline consumption in half right now. Our job is show every one else the possibilities. I'm thrilled with the enthusiasm of all the contenders, and I look forward to assembling the rest of the parts to make Rally Green complete.
