Elio Motors And Nascar

Common CENTS tells you they probably have a LOJACK system in their vehicles....I hope.

That's a low dollar, no frills operation. Pics on Twitter show a 10+ year old Ford dually with a plain white tandem trailer. This is not a Roush or Hendrick outfit.

I wouldn't be suprised if the rig is owned by a team employee and not the team itself.

Kinda wonder why the car wasn't on the team hauler (semi), but there are plenty of plausible reasons for that.

Daryl Kelly, a member of the Georgia Elio Owners Club on Facebook, took these images this morning inside the Elio display at the NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Two things I noticed right away were the much bigger display tent, the old tent only extended over the frame area, and the new marketing board featuring a photo of the actual IAV/EM engine which also features an interesting change in the engine specs as it lists the engine as being rated at 60 HP instead of 55 HP as we have been told for a while now.

any reports on attendance ? .... that does look like a better display .... given the 60 hp notice, that would seem to indicate that some dyno testing has been done

still wondering about reports from the tour stop last weekend at Atlanta ...???????????????

 

[JEBar]

a link to a release from EM .... with the temps being so cold, it had to impact the response to outside exhibits .... I'm surprised that we haven't had any reports from our members

No pictures, information....or even proof they were there.
Seems the FIZZ is fizzing out.

The least you could have done is scrolled up the page before posting this.

Besides the photos I posted on this page there is also the Elio blog post, which JEBar linked to in his last post, with pictures from the event.

I am not sure if any of our members was able to attend however this is what Daryl Kelly, the person who provided the photos I posted, had to say about his visit on Friday.

Went to Atlanta Motor Speedway today and saw the Elio. It was nice to finally see it and it turn out to be a very good day too, not many people were there yet so there was no waiting . Considering the number of people in the vendor area today ,Elio had a good number coming by to see it. I was pleased with the room in the drivers seat aswell as the back. I don't particularly like the Infinite sky's placement and I want get that, did notice they have raised the HP to 60. Seeing it and sitting in it did get me excited about getting one ,I hope it does to a lot of others too.

in short, your automatic response is to jump to a negative conclusion without any interest in learning the facts .... that's sad
