What did you think of the Wind-Electric hybrid? The cover date is unreadable, but there's an article about CB radio. I'm guessing mid-80s. That high body with wheel fairing became standard practice on solar racers much later. |
Thanks for the Ferrari image.The jury's (in my head ) still out on that one.
I have an article on the loop-wing wind car somewhere in my rat's nest.
There is a rumor that the guy came through Lubbock,Texas in the late 1970s and was pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding.
When asked if he knew what the speed limit was,he said 82 mph,The officer,chuckling, corrected him,stating that the highway number was 82,but that the speed limit was 55 MPH.
No citation was issued.
'gotta love rumors!
