Today was Charity Preview Night at the NAIAS.  This was the third and last preview that UMsolar participated in (Press Preview and Industry Preview were the first two).  Tomorrow the show will finally open to the public at 9 am.

Chris Hilger (Business and Operations Director) and Rachel Kramer (Project Manager) had fun dressing to the nines and spreading their enthusiasm for solar car.  They sat behind the wheel of a lot of cars and had the chance to talk to Bill Ford Jr. (Chairman of Ford), Gerhard Schmidt (CTO Ford), Rick Snyder (Michigan Governor), and David Cole (Chairman Center for Automotive Research).
