Greetings: I've always wondered why we don't have classes at our events. What about a class for lead acid at 20 miles, and a class for cars with extended range capabilities. Also, how come hybrids get to race with electric-only cars? It seems a little incongruous to see a hybrid honda screaming through a course using his gas engine only!!!! Just a thought.
