Good friend and marine electrician David Stebbins has offered to follow the fleet in his motor home carrying tools and supplies. This will take the weight out of our cars, boosting mileage. He might even be able to help with the charging of the MIT Porsche, at least carrying the mighty cable they'll need for their mega-quick charge. We've also discovered an old friend who knows Amory Lovins of Rocky Mt. Institute. I'm hoping they will host us for the night in Snowmass, CO. It will be a lively swapping of ideas and inspiration;  we'll be offering them as much as they'll be helping us.

We also have our thirteenth entrant, David Hudson, builder of the Hudson Stinger. While not a pure eco high mileage car, it has potential and is a great all around practical car.
