Re: Battery Beach Burnout Miami Jan 25-26
I would love to be there. It's kind of far for me ( how would I justify using all that gas?) But I have actually seen clips from that on TV in years past.
I saw that H.S. students are actually involved to some degree. H.S. shop classes, etc convert std. cars to EV cars.
If you could takes lots of pictures and/or video and share, that would be really really cool. Thanks!
