1972 Datsun EV - 11 second 1/4 mile
 

www.opb.org/programs/ofg/videos/view/56-Electric-Drag-Racing

Guy with a 1972 Datsun has installed an electric motor and is busy beating a Corvette, a BMW M3, and others on a drag strip in Oregon. (Looks like A123 was suppling some of his batteries.)

Didn't mention how long the car can cruise assuming he wasn't burning the batteries drag-racing, but it's an interesting story nonetheless.

'72 Datsun? Another one?

Thats way Cool!!!!!:thumbup:

That's Plasma Boy. He's a regular on the EVDL and yes, that car is fantastic. Google for "Blue Meanie" for info on his EV show car.

I think he was getting 30-35 miles with city driving, if I remember correctly, and at least in his version of his car he was running lead acid air craft starter batteries.

11.55 second quarter mile. Wow.

Hi,

Yup, the White Zombie is fun to watch.
