It is called "self fulfilling prophecy" if the words that you utter describe a situation which influences the circumstances to create the situation that you described. In this case, the negative undertone that I sense in the words describing the expectation for this event, makes me not want to be there, even if the range of my EV would allow to make the 40+ mile one-way trek over the mountains - which is the most likely reason that most EV people won't be there, because the highest concentration of EV'ers (Silicon Valley) are not guaranteed to find charging and it is iffy if they can make the trip on a single charge, even if you have a Leaf and drive conservatively, so why risk it?

Just don't want to be the only EV conversion there. Some of those that did show up in the past had cars on trailers (dead acid) with a for sale sign. I guess I am a die hard, the Sept 28 De Anza should be better, but I wouldn't bet money on it. It seems many of the forum DIY wanna bee's conversions either don't have a range over 5 miles, and/or, have a car that isn't running any longer. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Classis-car -show-Danville-Blackhawk-9-1-13-tp4664775p4664789.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
