TTXGP @ Infineon 2010 Wrap-Up

Great to see the bikes out there and was thrilled to see a race between the top 2 finishers, each bike with its own different approach to solving the "racing" problem (big power vs handling). Handling one this time, on what turned out to be a repainted re-powered Isle-of-Man winning machine from 2009 in Zero's hands.

I liked the grid-area for the electric teams, wide open for wandering, asking questions and taking pictures. I'll get some posted, there are tons available (ElMoto.net) from some old and new EV friends I made at the event.

Racing is hard, racing electrics is even harder in a gas world because to win you are inventing/using non-standard tech (think 1908 or so) AND still need to pull a racing team/organization together. I hope the racing can continue to make the EV's stronger for us all rather than being strictly about racing EVs - I know I still had to drive my ICE car to the event, as my bike can only do 8 miles at the moment, and way less than 70mph.
