This electric car would have kicked my....

In my days at the track, it took 450hp in a gutted 2,900 pound race car to get me into the low 12s at 111 mph. Not to mention I also burned about 1.5 gals. of 104 octane fuel from the time I left the pit, made one pass and returned to the staging area. On a good day I would burn 8 to 10 gallons of racing fuel at $4.85 per gal. = $48.50 in fuel alone or about 40 cents per second of actual race time. This guy puts me to shame....yeah he has probably got $20 to 30K in it, where I only had about $5K in mine but that wouldn't have stopped embarrassment factor.

Thanks Jerry for forwarding this to me.
