Sunday I drove from Portland down to the Woodburn Dragstrip to check out
|
|
the NEDRA Nationals. <http://www.nedra.com/>
|
|
|
|
The electric cars, motorcycles and dragsters had some great times and I
|
|
ended up with a few pics and a nice deep burn...
|
|
|
|
John Waylan (who was interviewed in Wired a few years back) pulled out a
|
|
14.4 second run in the quarter mile (91mph), on a battery pack that
|
|
hasn't been broken in yet. He expects to break his record next year
|
|
topping his 13.1sec/99mph run a couple of years ago. He's shooting for a
|
|
12 second run.
|
|
|
|
John also took out a replica 1908 Oldsmobile for a respectable 47mph
|
|
run. (Remember, we started out with electric cars.)
|
|
|
|
Near the end of the day, Kilacycle took the track with an amazing 111mph
|
|
run. Talk about a crotch rocket.
