@mabdiuhrman wrong, electric cars have been around since the 1800's

[mabdiuhrman]

what bull stuff, no car can ever run on electricity !

[etherialcruiser]

ya and start twisting driveshafts and shredding r&p's

[Polybun]

exactly, and the current is falling off at the top end of the track. Look on his website at the current curve. Needs more voltage. umm.. which is a bit scary to say, all things considered.

[EETechs]

umm actually the torque does not drop. Torque in electric motors are dependent on CURRENT, not voltage......

Nice. I stumbled across a site that might interest ya'll. showoffyourwheels dot com . They have heaps of event coverage there. Check it out.

I don't think a bigger motor would help, the battery sag kills it as it is. comes off the line with 500hp, 700ft/lb+, and by the end of the run, its down to aroudn 150hp and like, 200ft/lb.

John Wayland(aka Plasma Boy) has a rather interesting personality. The Hawker Aerobatteries in that thing are wicked powerful... He oughta dump the twin 8" motors and go for twin 9's. Up the power and torque a good number...
