[QUOTE=HARFprez;274273]...come on folks, save the planet, put those curly light bulbs in your race trailers and motor homes, use gasoline made out of algae, put up windmills in the pits to power the tracks...and now put battery chargers at all 4 corners of the race tracks, so that when they run out of juice they can just pull over and recharge. Seems to make perfect sense to me, then all the "greenies" can be the ones at the race tracks, all 10 of em. Just about as smart as people builing a brand new house right next to a RACE TRACK then complaining about the noise (Bloomington Speedway). Would the Indy 500 survived with 33 "whoosh-mobiles" going 500 miles? I prefer the NOVI and noise and real liquid fuel. Save the battery and solar powered cars for the universities to play with, and as soon as they can discover a lightweight battery solution, then we'll talk...bob

We raced electric cars 50 years ago. They called them slot cars and I can still remember taking those motors apart and cutting all of the wire off of the armatuer and rewinding them with different wire and then putting epoxy on them to try to hold them together. Those things were soo fast they were hard to keep up with. I can also remember watching my best motors go up in flames at the end of the straighs.

Then 20 years later my son got into r/c cars . They were also plenty fast and also plenty expensive. Watch out they will come to a race track near you.

p.s. i just figured out the solution, and it's so simple. Just put playing cards in the spokes of the midgets for that cool noise. See, problem solved.[/QUOTE
