Happy New Year EVDLers,

The first major EVent of the New Year is just days away, so
you'll need to act quickly to lock-in the low hotel rates
and airfares.  Everyone is invited to attend; for those who
live in colder areas, this will be a welcome break since
Florida has pleasant weather in January.

Racing fans will be treated to an evening of excitement at
the Moroso Motorsports track "MidNight Madness" EVent on
Friday night (Jan 26th).  ProEV's 'Electric Imp'
(www.ProEV.com) will be one of the featured cars.  Powered
by twin Siemens AC motors and Kokam lithium batteries, this
car is sure to live up to its "Impreza" name.  Also featured
at the track will be Matt Graham's "Joule Injected" Nissan
240SX (www.jouleinjected.com) and Shawn Lawless is planning
to bring his electric dragster from Ohio.

The 'Electric Imp' is scheduled to race again on Saturday
Jan 27th at the autocross to be held on the Florida Atlantic
University campus.  A gasoline powered super-charged Acura
NSX has been invited to race against the 'Electric Imp'
(the Imp is expected to win).  Several other racing EVents
including an electric scooter-cross are also scheduled.

Bill Dube (www.KillaCycle.com) will be our keynote speaker
at the Saturday night awards banquet.  On Sunday Jan. 28th,
the Electric Auto Association will hold their 6th EVer
conference on the FAU campus.  The theme of the conference
this year will be EV education and members of EAA chapters
from all over the USA and Canada are planning to attend.
The conference agenda is listed on the website of the
hosting chapter:

The EAA will also host a "meet and greet" session on Friday
evening for an opportunity to get acquainted or re-acquainted
with their fellow EVers.  There will be ample opportunities
over the weekend for those who have only met via email to
meet face-to-face.  Registration for both EVents is
free and those who pre-register will receive "official pit
passes" for  admission to the racing EVents.

The preferred hotel for the weekend is the Comfort Inn of
Jupiter, FL., where a block of rooms has been reserved.
For those on a budget, another block of rooms at the Days
Inn has been reserved at a lower rate, but the rooms in
that block need to be booked by Jan. 5th.  Check out the
website link above for more information.

We're all looking forward to seeing you there.

and the Board of Directors
