First, please imagine a rather lengthly expletive-filled rant about your sanity -- or, rather, of course, your lack thereof. Next, imagine even more profane bloviating about how awesomely impressive your team is. We believe that there is a bit more power left. Not 100% throttle. still more gassing / So...um...do you think you'll beat Ack Attack to 400? I'm trying to warp my brain 'round what that would mean.

Um...on a slightly selfish note...any chance you can provide enough information on your battery that somebody else can build one inspired by it? I have no intention nor desire to go anywhere near that fast on two, three, four, or dozens of wheels. But I'm still in the planning phases of a PHEV conversion for a 1964 1/2 Mustang, and I'll be looking for something that can do peak discharges of 1000 A @ 144 V but only need 10 - 15 kWh total capacity. I'm guessing that's going to resemble your battery more than the one in a typical BEV. I know it can be done with about four dozen 100 Ah 10 C CALB batteries, but I'd like to consider whatever's possible with A123 as well. Thanks! b -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you wish more information about the electric motorcycle that set this 240 mph record, the KillaJoule, you can find the entire story, including the build, history, etc. on: https://www.facebook.com/killacycle and a bit more basic information on: http://killacycleracing.com/ Bill D.
