What could possibly go wrong? Fast EVs on polished concrete with random people behind the wheel. Hope all the staff got hazard pay.

Yikes.  Everything about the autocross portion looks awful.

I didn't realize the auto show was this weekend. You think it's worth the entry cost?

Sort of? There were some cool cars and the Lightning ride was fun, but you could tell it was about 1/2 the size of pre-pandemic. We're actually semi-serious car shopping, so it was cool to see so many EV's back to back.

The drivers were from the brands and apparently do this all over the country. Doesn't make me warm and fuzzy, but I did at least go for a ride. 

You'll need to log in to post.
