electric cars at 5 Flags speedway

[Boneman]

There were twin, one hour long races at 5 Flags last weekend. I understand that the track management really liked it, and wants to make Electrathon an annual event.

BTW: I see a former electric driver from Milton High School is leading the bomber points at 5 Flags.

I bet these are like watching the bandelaros race a 1 car feature.

They only made two laps before the power cords got tangled...

The one on the outside pole also doubles as a blender...

[Boneman]

A lesson for promotors: our winner started LAST!

Ed - Bandoleros are much quicker than us! However, we have to be clever and do a lot with a little.

Announcer Dave - You are right about the cords. We had to have a competition yellow every 3 laps.

Great, Now the head dummy in Washington will triple the Carbon Tax and say If they can race them you can drive them.
Put an Antenna on it, sit in the stands and you have a very large RC CAR.
The ONLY WAY to save racing is to support a track. Did you know that the sporty car races have had a JUMP in both attendencs and car counts.
SCCA had over 900 at the runoffs.
PS: Thanks for the post Rex

Are they all three-wheelers? If you can run four wheels, I'd like to see one of these with like an outlaw Late Model wedge body on it (like an '80s dirt Late Model) :P

When the extension cords get all tangled up with each other do the cars become magnetized?

[Boneman]

George - They are interesting things to race, but I sure don't want anyone TELLING me that is what I have to drive. Also, SCCA participation is WAY OFF here in Florida. They are down from 250-300 car per event, to a hundred or so.

J-Mac - Most are 3 wheelers, but as you can see, the car on the front row has four.

Edm - You are just envious because we can race more than once a year.
