Hi all,
here is an exciting project I'm involved in, and I need your help! You might have heard about the TTXGP (http://www.egrandprix.com/ ), first ever electric motorcycle race series. It premiered at the Isle of Man TT last year, and now it's coming to our home track, Infineon raceway, on May 16th, to run with the AMA Nationals!
We are entered, but now need to get the funds together to rent a Mavizen (http://www.mavizen.com ) and race it in this inaugural event. The team consists of me, Carolyn Coquilette at http://www.lusciousgarage.com , hybrid specialist in SF, Anton Bertaux, Jeremy LaTrasse, Ivan Thelin and a bunch of other great people.
We are really passionate about furthering alternative energies, and electric bikes are the future. It would be great to put another local team on the grid and showcase that electric bikes are viable!
We need to raise about $20k for this first race, and about $95k to do the whole series and go to Spain to race against the UK and European teams. And we need to be able to come up with about $20k by Tuesday. I think we can do it, but we need your help!
If you want to be part of this grassroots effort and make history, please consider making a contribution here: http://www.indiegogo.com/Electric-Motorcycles-are-the-Future , we would super appreciate it!
And you can also read more about it here: http://emotorules.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/werkstatt-racing-needs-your-help
Thanks for your time, please distribute this to anybody that might have an interest, keep you fingers crossed, deadline is next Tuesday, make a donation and hopefully see you on May 16th at Infineon on the grid!
Cheers, Jennifer
