It has been a few years since have posted anything here.
I just got my May issue of CAR & DRIVER magazine a couple of days ago and what a surprise it was to find a great 4-page article on electric dragsters.
Most of the article is about JOHN WAYLAND and his tire smokin' WHITE ZOMBIE, a 1972 Datsun (not Nissan) 1200 sedan that is outfitted with a custom built siamesed pair of 8-inch electric motors that pull the 2300 pound car through a 12.151 second / 106.25 MPH quarter mile. The car has 30 12-volt batteries that pull about 325 HP and 772 pounds of torque.
I think it is neat to open a new mag about new cars that are on sale throughout the world and see an article with a 1200 as the hero.
