    Anyone up to making an electric Maverick? And drag racing it?

    Checkout this link. It would be awesome to make a Maverick/Comet go this fast, on an electric motor....

    Anyone from Washington/Oregon want to cruise down to the drag strip & take on this car? We can have a mini meet this summer, with drag racing.
    I'd go to the mini meet, but wouldn't want to go up against his car....
    It's just mind blowing.

    Way cool!!!!! IF they could run that fast and get about 300 miles on a single charge, they'd really have something.
