a month earlier, May 9, 2005, John Wayland, in his "White Zombie", had become the first National Electric Drag Racing Association (www.nedra.com) member to race a street legal electric powered car to over 100 mph in the quarter mile, clocking in at 100.76 mph with an ET of 13.004 seconds. And at the same time beating a 375 HP V-8 Camaro in the next lane.

The Zombie did its best time of the night with only a two thirds charge. It turned a 12.151 second ET at 106.25 mph which is also its top speed so far. The sixty foot time was an even more impressive 1.611 seconds.
