Time-Speed-Distance Road Rally for alternate fueled vehicles and hybrids in the
United States. It will be held at Watkins Glen, NY the home of American Road

Rally for Hybrid and Alternative Fueled Vehicles (AFV) held on a 60-mile course
around scenic roads overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes region
of upstate New York. The road rally will bring together Hybrid and AFV owners

The Green Grand Prix is the creation of artist -- and fellow hybrid
owner -- Bob Gillespie, and is the only official SCCA Time-Speed-Distance road
rally for AFV’s and hybrids in the U.S. “We created this event four years ago to
give people a first hand look at alternative personal transportation. This
year’s event will be even bigger than the last, as more and more people realize
the multiple benefits of green power,” said Gillespie.
In addition to the road rally itself, there will be a “green” vehicle and
sustainable energy display, a Speaker Forum, where Juice Energy’s Environmental
Director, Tim Treadwell, will speak on renewable energy markets, and a gallery
of entries from a student AFV design contest that is currently running in many
schools across the country.
