no.

> 2004 Prius with the stock Hybrid Synergy Drive® system, plus a couple of modifications: **bigger wheels and tires, and a change in gearing**.

> The **gear modifications make takeoff from the starting line a bit challenging** , but at Bonneville, that is no problem. Rules allow vehicles to get a push start because top speed is the main concern.  
> not stock, nor any mention of racing hubbies.
