John; Sounds like a great EV grin experience ! Now go out and share this with others. It will help them shed the "Golf Cart" mentality, when you push them back in their seat !

One of the odd things I have to deal with is that my other vehicle is a nearly identical truck that is Diesel. So, on the freeway with the Diesel (which I've been driving for years), when accelerating into faster traffic, I have to make sure I have enough room, and stomp on it. Coming back from the Issaquah Drive Electric Week event, I got stuck behind a truck doing 50mph, and the next lane was doing 65mph. Found a gap, changed lanes, and stomped on the pedal. Then hit the brakes before I rear-ended the car in front of me.... 500A at 310V can provide a LOT of acceleration, even with a 6000lb vehicle. -- Bobcats and Cougars, oh my! http://john.casadelgato.com/Pets _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
