This thing has two electric fork lift motors in it. It's pretty neat....the batteries weigh over 800 pounds, which makes the car heavier than it was originally...but MUCH faster!

Yeah, and electric motors have instant torque! That's cool, Joel!

Really great race, and the mountains are really great too.

That little thang is running in the 12s in the 1/4 mile!! It's
all done(and paid for) by one guy...he travels to different tracks in
the Northwest, too.
I got this bug from something I was reading today aboot electric vehicles and such, and this particular car was mentioned in the article. I never even knew there was a Sanctioning body for racing electric vehicles...whoda thunkit?
Ya think the Pinto was kewl check out this bike! A World record holder....neat name, too!

I'm pretty sure that my baby could take the Grimlin or Pinto looking thing across the intersection.
Nobody ever waves when I'm driving the Explorer.
