Insight Gathering
Mark, we could meet in Raleigh on April 11th or 12th and have a small Insight get together and plan for a larger rally this summer, perhaps in Asheville as Rick Reece suggested. I think Asheville is a great location for several reasons, one of which is the Blue Ridge Parkway.
On Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, there is an electric vehicle rally & autocross competition scheduled in the Raleigh, NC area. Most of the vehicles have been built by high schools in the Carolinas and show some excellent workmanship. I’ll be there as a judge/tech inspector and will have my Insight available for display. This could be a good time to make plans for a future event and see some excellent electric vehicle technology at the same time. Those in attendance would love to see our Insights, so it would be great to arrange in advance to park together.
Saturday’s Autocross is being held at the EPA’s new facility and campus in Research Triangle Park. Because the EPA facility is a federal facility and we are at war, there are security concerns and requirements. Anyone desiring to attend Saturday’s autocross must give me your name for the guest list by the morning of April 9th; and you must show up with a Photo ID (driver’s license, etc.) to attend the Saturday event. No one will be admitted without their name being on the guest list. Friday’s events are at the Harris Energy and Environment Visitor’s center, no ID required.
