The EV drag race will be Friday evening from 6pm to midnight, and the EV
autocross and Show 'n Shine will be Saturday from 10am to 4pm at the same
location, Countyline Dragway. I don't believe there are any activities or
events scheduled for Sunday, to my knowledge. I don't know how many EVs
will be at the drag race Friday evening nor how many will be at the
autocross on Saturday, but Shawn and/or Matt may know.
To speculate a guess at it, these are the EVs that I am pretty sure will
likely be there both Friday evening and Saturday:
ProEV's electric Imp, Cliff Rassweiler
Miramar High School's electric Porsche 944, Lowell Simmons and his students
AC Propulsion eBox, Andrew Roddy
Patterson Cycles electric motorcycle, Jeff Patterson
Vectrix electric motorcycle, Charles Whalen
Toyota RAV4-EV, Charles Whalen
Here are a number of other EVs which might also be there:
Possibly a second EV from Miramar High School (a Probe?, I think)
Electric Toyota pickup truck, Bob Fuerstenau
Some type of electric Porsche 911, possibly rebodied with an exotic body
kit, possibly lithium-powered, Paul Liddle, EV Porsche
"Joule Injected", electric Nissan 240SX, Matt Graham
A second Patterson Cycles electric motorcycle, Shawn Waggoner
Electric Porsche 912, Steve Clunn, Grassroots EV
Electric Chevy S10 pickup truck, Jerry Wagner
EVs from a few high schools in North Carolina and Virginia
(Lowell Simmons might know whether they are coming again this year)
I have written track management an email and asked them for info on any
nearby hotels. Given the holidays, I expect it might be several days before
I get any response from them.

I also tried to find the website for the track a few weeks ago and all
I could find were forums talking about it. I guess the website must be
new
I went to BBB last year on Friday, and there were only three or four
EVs there. I could not go on Saturday, the day when all the EVs really
came. So for this year, which day will have the most activity? BBB is
the entire weekend of January 26, 27, and 28, correct?
