    Dammit. My stroker gets here tomorrow, and it's already obsolete.

    After that eerie electric run, here's a fire breather (Dallenbach).

    On one hand you won't loose power to elevation. On the other it's just wrong to have racing with no noise.

    Listen to Millen's interview (at 9:30). He was expecting to go 30 seconds faster, but lost power to the rear wheels half way through the run. Half of the run was FWD!

    Electric race cars winning races oh my. The world as we know it is changing fast.

    An electric car winning Pikes Peak makes sense to me. No power loss as it gains altitude. That has always been a problem for internal combustion engines.

    Congrats to Rhys & his team for winning in their slot car.

    Here's another electric. Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima's quickest run.

    This is the sort of thing that makes me almost wish I still had cable.
