This one is out side of Ft Myers. http://www.gulfcoastautocrossers.com/ On youtube there are all sorts of vids of riding in the car at autocrosss I autocrossed my vw truck at the Power of DC this last summer. The Only thing with a faster time was a electric go cart. Oh, and Dave Erb was driving when we got the good times.

Re: [FLEAA] drag racing in Naples
Two points: 1. Shawn resigned as NEDRA President earlier this year. 2. Immokalee Regional Raceway is a 1/8 mile track at the Immokalee Airport about 20 miles north west of Naples or south east of Ft Myers down route 29.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Still having trouble with my connection to the EV list, so this is a resend. Hello All, Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) has a long running show called "Oregon Field Guide". On Thursday they first aired a episode titled "Electric Drag Racing" and I have to say this is one of the best filmed and produced pieces that I have seen! The show is primarily about John Wayland and the White Zombie, but there are shots of Bill Dube' and Tim Brehm as well. This is no average "news clip", it is nine minutes of well produced documentary. I highly recommend seeing it.
