I _always_ do a reduced power warm-up pass, just to make sure everything 
is race ready, brakes are OK, the steering is OK, etc.
TV crews put pressure you to run full power, right off the trailer. Your 
safety is not their priority, or even any consideration.

I am glad no one was hurt.

People still say "souped-up"?  

Does the phrase make sense for an EV?

Come to that, did it ever make sense for an ICEV?

And while I'm at it, what does souping up have to do with sleeper cars?  
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for diner cars?  

Oh, never mind.  I'm staggering off topic.

Re: [EVDL] John Wayland on Netflix?

[Alan Brinkman via EV]

Lawrence,

On Netflix look for the series "Fastest Car". Season 1 Episode 7 is titled 
"Electric vs. Gas".

I am a fan of John Wayland, Plasma Boy Racing, White Zombie, Blue Meanie, the 
Datsun mini truck "Baby Blue", and other various electric vehicles he has built.

However, Netflix could have done a much better job with Electric vs. Gas. There 
is a lot of material to watch to get to the electric portions. And, the White 
Zombie has a mechanical problem under full acceleration causing two of the four 
vehicles drag racing to crash.

I am so relieved that no one was hurt. 

Two cars were damaged in the crash. That is a bummer.
The episode, from an EV point of view, was off.

Time will heal, we have setbacks, we endure, we move on. 

Episode 7 has portions that people with varied interests will like. Portions. 
If you are interested indiesel trucks, turbocharging, nitrous, rotary 
engines, nostalgia, rock crawling, commercial real estate, racing technology, 
Hollywood, Lamborghini, comic book characters, drag racing history

I too had missed this episode. I watched parts of it the other day.

Alan
