Hi Again,

>I've always wanted to see the 'zombie' in action that >thing is a friggin rocket!

May I use this as a quote on my web page?

>11.5 over the 1/4 mile, thats awesome!

Yeah, it ran an 11.466 @ 114.08 mph, and that was was a terrible launch (too much wheel spin). If we could have practiced a few times with that borrowed lithium pack, we were fairly certain a high 10 was in the cards...oh well, maybe this year.

>I've always wanted to see the 'zombie' in action

Go to Youtube and search 'White Zombie Speed Records'. This another agreat video shot at the same time as the OFG you just watched. In fact, in the one scene where we are at the empty trunk area getting ready to install the lithium pack, if you watch closely, you can see the two guys from the Speed Channel at the left side of the screen. Their video also has me on camera saying 'That's racing', the same line the OFG guys caught in their video.
Both shows however, missed the 11.4 run against a stock 1200...but that run is viewable at Youtube as well.

Glad you all seem to enjoy this latest video. Thanks for the kind remarks!

See Ya...John Wayland

Depends on the speed as it will need a roll cage for under certain times.

Just need to start with a cheap light glider (no running gear)
4k in batteries, 4k in controller and misc, 3k on motor, direct drive to Currie all alloy housing, Currie/Strange carrier and 4.6 lsd centre and custom tailshaft 4k.

For under 15k to be serious you have a lethal Porsche killer and uses a couple of cents of electricity per run.

yer 3 grand for the motor 4 grand for the batt's 3 grand for the inverter

hmmm 10 grand now how much does a 11's car cost to build

E drag cars are cheaper than Petrol ones all up.

I've always wanted to see the 'zombie' in action that thing is a friggin rocket!

11.5 over the 1/4 mile, thats awesome!

he is right in one regard, it does sound like a cordless drill on steroids!

It is a shame that it is so expensive to set a car up like yours but it is great to see someone paving the way to a greener perormance future. If I could afford it I would be definately interested in doing this to my 120Y Panel Van. I can see it now. All that old school exterior technoligy and an electric motor as a heart. Sounds like a plan. Shame I can't afford it.

Out of curiosity, apart from the obvious long term nature of your project, reasearch, different motors and setups that you have run over the last 10 years or more, How much would it cost to set up the car as it is right now?

2 thumbs up from me.

Absolutely unreal, A great thing you're doing. Goodluck with it!

Amazing car man. Nice video too. Thats the weirdest way of pronouncing 'Datsun' I've ever heard though. Sounds like 'Dartsun'. Keep up the good work though.

love ya work dude ,me and my dad just got a electric charade ( small road car) runs 16 batts and cant belive the power/ takes off in any gear ( 5th) with no problems
