Hi Guys
I took the "Device" to our annual 1/8th mile drags on Sunday
Had a great day - slightly sunburned!
I went a bit quicker, last year it was 14 seconds, this year 11.02 seconds
But not as quick as I expected,
I have the controller set to 1000amps - I don't think I'm getting that, the highest (battery) current I saw was just over 600 amps and I only got up to 52mph

Is it possible that only two of the IGBT's are operating? - at Christchurch with only 1/4 of a charge I did 10.5 seconds and 59mph.
On Sunday it did not feel anything like as brisk

I'm going to keep driving it at the moment - the weather is lovely and I still have a shed full of Subaru to fix before I can have a good look at the Device
