Re: Meeting electrical requirements at district venues

A quick search of Hertz's rental site shows that very large (40-80 kW) 3 phase generators similar to what the MAR guys are saying they use are only in the range of $250-400 a day. Obviously you need other gear to distribute that power, but is that an unworkable expense? If I were a team competing I would glady donate additional money on top of my entry fee to be able to utilize proper power in my pit, if the RPC couldn't afford the expense outright.
