Resets the record.

For those that may not be aware of who actually built the E Cobra Jet electric cars as well as the E COPO Camaro, it's Divison 6 Comp, SS and Stock racer Jeff Lane, along with Patrick McCue and the Hancock & Lane team.
Job well Done.....

Thats cool hope this electric vehicle class takes off !

The problem with this vehicle is most tracks don’t have 440 3 phase to charge it quickly!

Electric equals quiet. Pretty much takes all of the fun out of drag racing for me.

I don't know the actual drive to. The wheels, but I believe the power goes thru a transmission and rear gear, like a conventional ICE engine does in these cars, unlike a Tesla. So burn outs and wheel stands are still do able.
No open header noise nor Race gas smells of course. Maybe one can play loud Engine RPM sounds and have a race gas soaked rag in the car for effect.

Any car at the track helps keep the sport going and tracks open for all of us. A GOOD thing.

When Lane was testing the car, they used a 220 single phase gen between rounds

Generator noise from all the motorhomes is not too bad but with an electric car category the noise from all the 220 generators running could be overwhelming.
Hot lapping could be their downfall, like watching a bunch of NASCAR's running out of fuel on the last lap.
