Many of you may already know this, and we have covered it in the past, but for you who were not aware, Peter M. DeLorenzo, the man behind autoextremist is also the man behind the Hydrogen Electric Racing Federation. I was browsing that site today and I noticed this announcement: "Editor's Note: Peter will be on "Autoline Detroit" on the Speed Channel, Sunday, March 4th, to talk about the latest developments with the Hydrogen Electric Racing Federation and the "Hydrogen 500." (Check your local listings for broadcast time!)"

So, if you are interested in knowing more about the program and the racing, tune in. I will definitely be watching, and if there is anything news-worthy out of the show, you'll hear about it from me!

The Hydrogen Electric Racing Federation was formed on Wednesday to promote a new racing series. In this series of racing, the vehicles will be powered by electricity derived from hydrogen.

Included in attendance for the introduction were auto industry executives, senior executives from Bridgestone-Firestone and Michelin, as well as Tony George, the CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy Racing League, and Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series.

According to Peter M. DeLorenzo, President and CEO of the new organization, "The concept of racing hydrogen fuel cell-powered machines is unprecedented and historic, simply because for the first time in many, many years, racing will undertake a key role in the development of radical new technologies for production vehicles that are still on the horizon."

DeLorenzo is also the founder of the site autoextremist.com.
