Evidently there's a all electric Datsun (looks more like about a 1970-73ish Toyota Carolla/Carona) that laid down some 12 sec Trap times in the 1/4

I'm sure the track is Portland International Raceway. I just happened to stumble across this on YouTube tonight.

Does anyone know anything more about this?

They use super expensive and lots of crazy batteries.

The guys who run it are pretty cool though, I talked with them about it one night. They hop up all sorts of stuff with wacky electic motors. They were telling me about the Lazy-boy they got up to about 35mph!
