Electric vehicle post

I stumbled across this:


http://megawattmotorworks.com/photos/woodburn%202003/index.htm


Some interesting movies in the photos - Odd to see near silent drag racers and a 32 Ford that is electric.

Enjoy,

Thanks for the link. I saw a spot on the Discovery Channel's Daily Planet about electric drag races a couple of weeks ago and I was really impressed. It's pretty cool to se an old Datsun pulling a 12 second 1/4 mile on batteries.

Willy the wind wagon looks like it would make a good wind generator? LOL.


I've been to the event several times. I live about 19 miles from the Woodburn drag strip.


The E-Car drags are normaly held late August.  The Vyper club meets with them. There are a couple E-car that leave the Vypers in the dust.


Fun to see an electric car go faster than a 12 cyl. sports car.
