hmmm, if he asked me "did you ever think an electric car could beat a gas car?" i simply reply, "you have about 7 more seconds to shave off brotha!". i commend the effort, he has been at it for over 7 years (that is atleast the first time i saw him) and commend the world records. sponsors seem light though.

it doesn't seem like there would be much out there for sponsors other than tires, Nissan, or suspension systems.

scott, why did you just call me?

also, i think tesla is getting all of the electric car grant money.

nothing can replace the sound a gas car creates anyways. I want to hear my engine/intake/exhaust scream. electric would be fun, but meh.. would feel too disconnected from the car.

was a cool video either way

Did you not hear the motorcycle? It sounded like a rocket going down the track.
