Well, how is the speed with solar? mysteryowl Jun 2020 #14
Yes, they won't go that fast but maybe the cars can be more like go carts... jalan48 Jun 2020 #15

I know?...........................Who was the last President of the United States before Donald Trump? Do you remember?

He was an Afro-American..I think he got reelected..Didn't he?.......When I was in my teens, many years ago, I thought that could never happen in my lifetime.....Did a fellow named Obama get elected?...reelected?....You must be joking..can't be true?

I wonder how hard they are going to investigate, and what they will do to the culprit. Should be a Lifetime Ban IMO.

Just not for very long. And at pit stops they have to wait 5 hours to recharge, so that would be a long intermission.

If I’m not mistaken, the 1/4 mile drag racing records are blow out of the water by electric cars.

As an African/Native American man it really makes me feel good to see such unity coming out of a sport that I’ve always thought of in my 57 years as being a white.
I’ve seen the confederate flags at those events when I had a chance to see a race. And a handful of people of color.
Watching that video made me feel almost as I did when Obama won
