Instead of a refuel, it's a battery pack change depending on race length.
No noise.
No shifting.
Super fast.
Just a random Friday thought.
Forget the politics, just talking about the sport and engineering.
“There are very real limits to how much power you can put through a stator at a given speed and voltage, due to back emf issue. “
Tesla is advertising 200+ mph for its new Model S ...
He's been baptized in the waters of Lake Lloyd and returned to the congregation. Having an owner pardoned by Bill Clinton gets you some social credit points.
“Maybe on a short track, but on an intermediate or superspeedway the cars don’t really slow down much.”
You need to watch NASCAR. Xfinity. on Saturdays, Cup Series on Sundays.
I think the Dodge Hellcat holds the speeding ticket record at 180mph so there’s potential for more.
“The piston engine is much more dynamic, and much less fussy, more fuel and air, more power. Simple blocks, Rods, valves, cams, pistons and bearings are easier and cheaper to replace if something starts to bend, and they tend to be able to take much more dynamic load than a copper wire. So people tend to push them much harder, and it’s easier to push them harder (said equipment above for emachines is not cheap, and it’s complex).”
Somehow you have managed to take the piston engine disadvantages and turn them into advantages!
“Remember, 1334hp is just over a megawatt. Plenty of built GM LS, Coyote and Chrysler HEmi motors turning that nowdays in entry level track cars.”
But not in NASCAR!
“I think the Dodge Hellcat holds the speeding ticket record at 180mph so there’s potential for more.”
Nope. 242 mph but not a Hellcat.
Yeah, but with that enormous battery pack, can you imagine the sub-woofers you could power to play your “VROOOM, VROOOM” sound effects.
Now Elon needs to develop a holographic projector of Fireball crashes!
Turbine cars were much faster...
Yes, they were and more dangerous due to turbine lag.
I’m dubious.
Most guns don’t even register past 200.

“I’m dubious.
Most guns don’t even register past 200.”
The cheap ones. One. of the popular models for professional use goes to 299 mph.
THE FINAL FUNERAL for NASCAR will follow within minutes.
Forget Electrics They are racing on dirt at Bristol at the end of the month.

Bristol Baby!
Please show me a 1334 hp N/A Cayote!
I think the Dodge Hellcat holds the speeding ticket record at 180mph so there’s potential for more.
That only because they couldn’t catch the car going 185 mph.
“You don’t understand NASCAR.”
True, but the Indie 500 is not a NASCAR event.
What’s NASCAR’s attitude toward electric and turbine cars?
“Some call it noise we call it music”
You want music, listen to a Harley.
What’s NASCAR’s attitude toward electric and turbine cars?
That’s easy. If BLM is for it then NASCAR is all in for it.
Must be socially conscious you know.
