“Green” Bicycle Race – Need Sponsor?

I’ve got an idea for a bicycle race where human power is combined with solar, wind, battery, and/or “braking generators”. You’d set a MINIMUM weight on the bike, say 250lbs to encourage folks to innovate and install other devices on their vehicle (or trike or quad whatever), ensuring that a professional cyclist cannot win without assistance from other energy sources. You’d establish limits on the dimensions of the vehicle when on the road, and different limits when parked (perhaps the rider would spread out Solar Power panels for stationary charging or turn its wheels into windmills). There would be 4 legs to the race:
1. Human powered (including any real-time charge that could be generated after starting the race with dead batteries)
2. Idle/stationary charge time (simulating the rider being at work)
3. Alternative energy only, and
4. Dual power.

Have you tried alternative sources?
