He has a good drag racer drive the white 1200 -- at the track -- because he likes to win. He drives the blue electric 1200 around town. He also drives the white one to the racetrack.

That is impressive. I just love the way it climbs out of the hole off the line.
The comment near the end, is incorrect though. The tyre smoke it generates ISair pollution. And once all the betteries are worn out, that generates a huge amount of toxic waste. Plus the menufacturing of those cells is also envirnmentally unfriendly. Plus those cells have a massive amount of carbon miles on them by the time that they reach John.
Add to that, the energy he uses to charge them was more than likely generated in an envirnmentally unfriendly way. Given though that less CO is created in the generation of that energy vs making by the use of an internal combustion engine.
Hats off to the guy. But why the fcuk wouldn't he drive it himself? That would be like being married to kiera knightly, and getting your freind to shag her for ya!

That OPB video is great.

This makes me want to put an electric engine in my 1000.

I wonder what the costs are like.

Awesome stuff. I take my hat off to JW and his crew.

I know John Wayland’s cars have been mentioned before; however, I had never seen this entire episode.
