My 3200 pound, 300 hp gasoline car did 133 mph after one mile on the Salt Flats -- It'll be impressive to see a little 1100 pound electric do it. Good luck!

good luck. break the record, then go to A123 and tell them you want to set the record even higher with their name on it :)

I don't think you need so wide wheels for such a run do you?

You rock, dude! Maybe your next one will beat the Buckeye Bullet!
We've been driving electric for five years now- it's time the public learned the truth about the 19th century technology our oil-controlled government forces them to drive.
I'm off to find a clean '72 Datsun 1200 sedan to convert, a la "White Zombie"...:^O

I'm guessing your "motorcycle batteries" might be Hawker AGM type, like maybe 680's ?

Be careful going that fast. Now can you run up to the store and go shopping in that?
