Green Grand Prix in Upstate New York!!

The fourth annual Green Grand Prix will again be hosted by the International 
Motor Racing Research Center in Watkins Glen, NY and the Glen Region of the 
Sports Car Club of America. This unique event is the ONLY official SCCA 
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 
racing on May 3rd. The Green Grand Prix features the Doris Bovee Memorial 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 
for a fun and exciting educational event emphasizing energy independence and a 
cleaner environment. Proceeds from the event will be donated to The 
International Motor Racing Research Library, a registered non-profit educational 
organization. http://www.greengrandprix.com/index.htm
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.
