I’m voting for Don Mannes to take his trailer with the tracker and his lawn mower. Not knocking anyone else’s build, but his are standard but with unique details… Plus he has experience putting on demonstrations. Be nice to get a trip in before winter sets in. TomC

They’ll have to let you “walk the dogs” at some point… not much of a demo sitting around inside.
Good time to check for leaks, you should be able to shut down and not smoke up the place…

That’s good news Tom, I wondered how they thought we could demo our wood powered vehicles inside!
Does anyone know what this amounts too or how long they want us there?

Tom W said above that you’re back outside. I’m sure they’ll let you drive home at night.
Try to take lots of photos/videos guys! I’m sure there will be some excitement from the MEN crowd.
Last I heard from Alec we are back inside. I told him I needed to get out at night unless he rented a Lotus or Lamborghini for our use to get back to motel. He said hr would make sure we had a path to get out
So how will you fire up the trucks? No live demos?
Not unless we pull them outside. Now I have to come up with something to protect the floor from my oil leaks
This is the last email from Alex Weaver!Hello Gentlemen,
Just wanted to give you an update and ask you a question about the Fair coming up next weekend.
First of all, I wanted to let you all know that we have the car show inside a building at the Fair. This building will be locked at night and there will be security monitoring the facility during the closed hours.
My question to all of you is will you need to enter/leave at any point or are you comfortable leaving your woodgas vehicles at the Expocentre overnight?
Good luck to you guys going to the event.
Sure wish I could go. 
Stopped by the Expo Center and got checked in. Alec was very helpful. He also introduced me to the electric vehicle guy and while talking to him he told me to be prepared for all the questions coming. A wsy cool electric truck was there
Sooo when y’all talk to the big guy tonight ask him to look in on us tomorrow
Thanks
