Smile Tour de Sol?

Anyone going out for this mileage competition?

Is this something various hypermilage teams might try for?

May in New York State. The temps are likely to be too low for good FE in a Prius. Also, looking at the rules, there are penalties for driving too slow, although they don't say how slow is too slow, and you can only inflate your tires up the the manufacturers recommended pressure. Last year they tried to penalize someone for porpoising (P&G). No 100 MPG Prius with those temps or rules.
