Matt,
Will the Discovery Channel be filming more in this area? When will we be racing EVs at Moroso next?

Hey Andrew, Last night was really a lot of fun, although the whole day was a lot of work and I am beat! The day started at 7 AM at Central Auto Trim in West Palm Beach. I started ripping out the old battery hardware and cabling, as well as the Zilla and Hairball controller. The Discovery Channel film crew showed up at 11 AM and began filming the whole process and getting some interviews for their upcoming series, Planet Green. Shawn Lawless showed up at 12:30 or so, did some interviews and then the work began to complete the installation of a 370V Lithium Ion battery pack and his Z2K-EHV motor controller and Hairball. We had to repurpose all the contactors and cabling, and drop both motors to rewire some of the connections. We got all this done by about 5:30 PMless than 5 hours for almost the complete swap! Once we got to Moroso, we still needed to complete some wiring and address some pesky troubleshooting issues. It wasnt until 10 PM that the car was fully functional and able to make 3 runs down the track. Each time there were some fireworks from the arcing brushes so we were never able to get a full-power run all the way down the track. Still, Joule Injected ran a 13.95 second quarter mile at 85 mphthe exact same speed that I completed the 1/8 mile in. While work on Joule Injected was going on, both the Porsche 944 and Shawn Lawless AGNuS electric motorcycle were busy setting records in the ¼ mile for their respective classes. Lowell ran a 15.22 at 93 mph and the motorcycle had a best time of 10.63 at 115 mph. There should be some great footage of the whole process. Ill keep everyone posted on when this series might start. It could be some time if they are just beginning to put together content for each episode. After pulling out the battery pack and controller, and then towing the car back from the track, we didnt get home until 1 AM. Long day, but definitely worth it. Congratulations to Lowell Simmons and Shawn Lawless on their new NEDRA records!

Hi Matt, What was the outcome of the race? Andrew _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Graham Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 10:03 PM To: 'FLEAA Mailing List' Subject: [FLEAA] Electric Drag Racing at Moroso Friday Night! Hi all, Sorry for the late notice, but things have only come together here at the last moment. Tomorrow night, Friday March 27th, we will have a couple high-performance EVs at the track at Moroso Motorsports Park. The Joule Injected Nissan 240SX will be going for the Street Conversion class record, and Lowell Simmons will be there with the Miramar High School Porsche 944. You might also catch a glimpse of a quick electric motorcycle as well. If all goes well, JI will see speeds in excess of 100 mph in the quarter mile and the 944 will be snorting down the track, too! The gates open at 6PM and go until 11PM. For more information, check out: http://www.morosomotorsportspark.com <http://www.morosomotorsportspark.com/> Matt Graham FLEAA Treasurer
