Casey Shuman electric midget
 

Anyone know who was behind it or have any info or contact info on it?

Is this the one that hot lapped at LPS a few years ago?

And

BC, I almost had an electric motor for my tq, when Kyle was still at Remy, they offered what was needed to make the change, tech support, batteries and other needed equipment, and I was ready to make the rest of the changes on my end, then the market on their end took a down turn, and it was over in a heartbeat, but that would have been a lot of fun to try, might have kept my interest up.

Kinda curious on what motor/battery and controller they used.

They had evidently done their due diligence on the application, I think they had decided a 20hp motor would equate to the alcohol burner I had in it, the rest would be for that motor, wiring and batteries and controllers, they were to send me the motor, then I was to take the car to them in Anderson and they would do the rest, sure would have been worth the effort, might have been in on the beginning.

GM has a vision of an all-electric fleet of vehicles by 2035. Most other car companies have also made statements of growing their electric fleet considerably in the future. If the Big 3 tell NASCAR that they want to race an electric car, how long would it be before this would come down to the grass roots racing? #IWorkForGM

THIS is what the WRG midget series should be! :5::5:

Someone had an electric midget at The Chili Bowl several years ago. They had one of the drivers hot lap it during a break in the action. The name of the driver who hot lapped it escapes me now but he was cutting some pretty good laps. It was very odd hearing nothing but electric motor and gear whine along with some tire noise. The car at Chili Bowl may well have been the same car as hot lapped at LPS.

I'm all in favor of saving the environment, but what I've always wondered is if every car is electric, won't that require a huge increase of the electrical grid? How will all that power be generated? Won't that also pollute? :11:
As for race cars, NO WAY! :42::
