Video duration: 40 seconds This is video from one of my Holeshot Nationals race against a "hot" 1967 Mini Cooper at the Northwest Motorfest in Boise Idaho over the past 4th of July weekend. My electric car beat the Mini Cooper 3 out of 3 time, but the Mini did get closer in this last race after a couple of tire air pressure adjustments. |

Video duration: 68 seconds This is video from my Holeshot Nationals race against a stock Bugeye Sprite at the Northwest Motorfest in Boise Idaho over the past 4th of July weekend. The electric motor has about double the torque of the stock gas engine and even though the electric "Bugeye" weighs 600 pound more, it is much quicker that the orginal stock Bugeye. |

Video duration: 158 seconds This is some local news coverage of my little green electric "Bugeye" Sprite which I finally finished a couple of week ago and I entered in the 2009 Boise Roadster Show. I was very surprised by how much interest there was in the car at the show. I was also very surprised, and very honored, that the car won First in Class for the Semi Sports class and "Outstanding Engineered" overall. |
