You tag the 2 people with NA Miatas and not the guy with the NB

That is awesome
Sorry, first ones that came to mind! Spotted you on Main St. the other day though, looked good :tup:
Its going to bum me out when an electric car on fork lift motors smokes me at the track. haha I remember a few years ago seeing a home built electric setup(cant remember the chassis) run 12s at NYI.
Lets put some electric motors into a muscle car. Something absurd.
Electric motor conversions are cool until you find out how much batteries and the motors cost
Impressive performance, no doubt…however it’s boring as hell to watch. I’m sure the day will come, but I just can’t imagine ‘motorsports’ without the glorious sounds of the gas engine, in all it’s forms.
that’s crazy. like two huge electric RC cars going down the track.
“NEDRA NEWS - Baytown, TX (March 15, 2014) Breaking the 8’s has been a goal
electric drag racers with street based electric cars also known as “door
slammers” have been attempting to achieve for quite awhile. John Metric finally
did it with his electric Miata, Assault and Battery Friday night at
Royal Purple raceway with a 1/4 mile time of 8.913 seconds at 147.99 mph. It’s
also the first doorslammer to break 125 mph in the 1/8 mile!”
“Door Slammers” - first time I’ve read that
really?
In reference to electric cars, yeah.
This.
thanks for the link that was a interesting read
