I have dozens of extension cords left over from racing the EV. They are in a big pile on the bus and I no longer need them. If you'd like an extension cord (or two or three or more), then ask Roger or Ricky or Charles at the Duff Beer Mobile Oppression Palace at VIR next weekend and we'll give you some. These will be 14ga or 16ga 25' cords for the most part, and only used for one weekend, so pretty much like new.

Does this mean yo are not running the electric at CMP?

Yes I voted against you joining the club.

The electric car is alive and well and will race again, but probably not at the next CMP race. I had planned on running it there as a series hybrid with a big portable generator in the rear hatch area, a big custom-made charger programmed as a CA/CV power supply with a hard input limit, and a couple of banks of big super capacitors as a power sink, but the people who are building and testing the programmable charger are really taking their time, so it doesn't look like I'll have all of the pieces together by CMP. If they got me the charger today, then maybe I could get it operational by CMP with batteries for the power sink, but it would be close.

Instead we'll most likely be bringing the '81 Mercedes 240D that we ran at NCM, but with a significant power upgrade. It'll still be a big under-powered 80's diesel Mercedes boat, but less slow than it was before. I took it out on 440 today and ran it up to speed in the fast lane (probably 70-80, but the speedo is way off) and it cruised well, where it would only hit 60 MPH before.
