Club Calendar & Events

Club Meetings

Saturday, January 27th 2018 - We are going to get together.  How about if we meet up at NOON to talk EVs and then go in to eat lunch?  Let’s DO it!  It will either be COLD AS HELL or NICE AND WARM!  Where?  How about one of our favorite places, the Garden of the Gods Trading Post in Colorado (Manitou) Springs!  Address: 324 Beckers Lane, Manitou Springs, CO 80829.  The Eastern parking lot will be coned off just for us!  Drive around the cones or move one to get into that parking lot.  Come early so we can all talk for awhile.

Who is EVPRS?

The Electric Vehicle Production Racing Series (EVPRS) is a Colorado nonprofit formed for the purpose of sanctioning, organizing, and promoting EV racing to provide a forum for EVs to compare and demonstrate the performance characteristics of various alternative technologies through competition that facilitates the identification and advancement of technologies capable of driving the mass adoption of EVs as a primary means of transportation.
