    Just an FYI for folks that ride motorcycles. Energica is offering test rides (drives?) on their electric motorcycles. You need a motorcycle licence, though. Should also bring your helmet and gear. You can sign up here: Energica at Tesla Motor Club (TMC) Connect 2017

    It was my understanding that one can ride as a passenger if they don't have a license.

    Reminder for folks to dress in layers. Daytime can be warm/hot, evening you might want a light jacket.

    Fastest overall was 1:51... by Jeff McCabe with his own conversion of a Cobra kit car to electric.

    I heard the fastest "Production" class car was Billy Kwan's Bolt EV at 156.619.

    Any idea about the fastest "Production GT" class car? Someone driving a Model S?

    Sorry I did not take better notes. I know that @brianman came in second in Production GT with 1:53 in a Model S. The fastest Roadster was Joe Nuxoll at 1:56, whereas he did 1:50.883 in 2011, but this year the first car out in the time trial, a prototype car, lost it in turn 6 and caused a yellow for Joe and the other cars so he and a few other cars went back for a second run. That might have reduced the performance.

    Yaa, saw the standing yellow in 6. It didn't really slow me down, so I was one and done
