“It’s not a golf cart with doors, this is a serious automobile,” Brooks Agnew said about an electric Geo Metro parked at the Corbin Speedway Tuesday morning. And that automobile could bring 300 to 500 jobs to the Tri-County area. Agnew is the Vice President of Engineering for Green Star Products, a company that specializes in environmentally friendly “green” solutions to the United State’s energy needs.
