2022 34th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics - Great times at the racetrack! Friend at work (Frank) was racing, but you can also get your car in the Car Parade. Three times around the 2.25 mile track, just freeway speeds but fun anyway. 2022-07-02 Pacific Raceways, Frank NOTE: All that car...

TJLLEW at the Jul 2, 2022 Pacific Raceways. Super fun. Friend at work (Frank) was racing, but you can also get your car in the Car Parade. Three times around the 2.25 mile track, just freeway speeds but fun anyway. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmkB78bgm8vSzid-RaLW9hQllMBk?e=4R1DzW That white Lotus...

Yeah so much snow the trails at Paradise aren't down to the paved trail yet. Rural not urban hiking...

Is anyone going to the 2022 34th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics race at Pacific Raceways this weekend (Jul 1-3)? I'm not racing, but I I entered TJLLEW into the "Car Corral" along with numerous Vintage Lotus cars. We get to do 6 laps around the 2.25 mile track around noon in between races...

2022-06-26 Mt Rainier Paradise 85 miles one way. 8 hrs rt (6 plus 2.5 hr charge time). Returned home with 70mi left (range est), so could have done it in 7 hrs easily. My car has a range of 120m. Charge station – Wellspring Spa, off 706 just E of Ashford. 4 Nema 14-50 (RV/dryer) hookups, so...

Portland update: Fast (48a) charging available at the Heathman lodge. So a top off at Burgerville Centralia and Heathman is plenty for my Woodburn/Salem OR trips. Be good for a Columbia River loop trip too (WA hwy 14 and OR I-84 loop). Tesla level 2, so I used my 1772 with a Lectron 48a Tesla...

2022-05-02 Centralia Burgerville 14.7kw (70a, 210v) charger, plugs right into a Roadster. Over 60 mph charge time. It's listed on Plugshare and accurate. Someone mentioned 80a vs 70a. I didn't try to see if I could bump up the charge current, just plugged it in and got 70a. Guessing 80a is a...

2022-05-02 Centralia Burgerville 14.7kw (70a, 210v) charger, plugs right into a Roadster. Over 60 mph charge time. 2022-05-02 Update: Works! Calling ahead probably won't help: Folks there have no idea about it. Mgr probably said “not sure working” on my 3/16 phone call since only Roadsters...

I'm interested in purchasing one as well, are they available? Jeff (tjllew) Seattle. 2010 Roadster 2.5 base #539. A bit challenged on complicated installs, is it easy to install?

Medlock and Sons, Seattle: He just sold the green one in the garage...

I'm in too, let me know if you move out on this. I'm in Seattle, close by Medlock and Sons. They specialize in Roadster repair and have over a dozen Roadsters there all the time they showcase (plus ones they are servicing for clients). They might be very interested in selling them...

Thanks. Do you have contact information for a DC to Roadster kit mfg you'd recommend? Couldn't find on Google search...

By the way, I didn't go inside since this wasn't my destination beer stop. I have a strict one beer limit on my road trips. The IPA at Steilacoom Tap Room was wonderful.

Good to know, thanks. I thought maybe the adapters or somewhere in the charging connection was a current sense. Agree, need to know what you are doing. I'm an Electrical Engineer so I was (and always) look out for any overcurrent scenarios. I'll always set mine to 48 amps ahead of time...
