Earlier this month, the Fourth Annual Green Grand Prix took place in Watkins Glen in upstate New York. The winner of the MPG competition was the biodiesel-powered Harley-Davidson owned and ridden by Bill Bolch (above) that earned 89 MPG. The Doris Bovee Memorial SCCA road rally included 46 participants using ten fuel types (including natural gas, hydrogen fuel cells, and gas-electric hybrids). Chip Beam's green car circuit favorite - the wood-burning SUV we also met at EcoFest in 2006 - made an appearance, as did a 1914 Woods Electric and Marcelo daLuz's "X of 1" solar racer (see a pic of the two side by side here). Organizers had an eye to the future, too: preschoolers were allowed to drive electric "Kid-Racers." If the images from 2008 in the gallery below aren't enough, check out some 2007 Green Grand Prix photos.
