Hi Everyone,

I wanted to give everyone an update on the upcoming Battery Beach Burnout
Event taking place in FL next January 21st. The new website is up, but still
needs some work. The website with all the information about the race is at:

http://www.batterybeach.com

The event plans are to have a show and shine competition Saturday afternoon
at the race track and the drag race Saturday night. The Show and Shine will
start at Noon and go till 4:00PM, gates for the race open at 4:30 with
racing starting at 5:00PM. Prizes and awards for the Show and Shine will be
given for "Best Engineered Car", "Viewer's Choice", "Participants Choice"
and others. The viewer's and participant's choice will be by ballot from the
public and attendees voting for their favorite. Awards and trophies for all
the events will be given Saturday night after the drag race at the award
ceremony.

In an attempt to have a bigger event and media draw, we are scheduling this
year's event to be a two-day competition! Friday, January 20th, in the
afternoon, we will be having an EV Autocross Race near the track. Friday
night after the Autocross, we will be having a Social / EV Get-together near
the beach for all the attendees with their EV's. (Where else can you hang
out near the beach with a bunch EV's???)

Having both events would not be possible without the die-hard efforts of two
of South Florida's EV'ers, Matt Graham and Lowell Simmons. I'd like to thank
them both for all of their hard work and inspiration! I'd also like to thank
Chip Gribben for the awesome graphic for the race and website!!!

The two day event will be packed with competitions, races and fun. We are
hoping to have several high school and college teams, as well as the
professional or individual racers.  

If anyone is planning on attending, or would like more information, please
email us at: race_at_batterybeach.com

Thanks and hope to see everyone in Florida next January for the Southeast's
biggest EVent!
