Title: Electric Crazyhorse Pinto in Design News
Post by: electrabishi on June 02, 2009, 01:12:20 AM
Don't yet know where to get hard copies but the Electric Crazyhorse Pinto is featured as the cover story in the June 2009 issue of Design News.  Online article is here:
http://www.designnews.com/article/277418-Drag_Racing_Goes_Electric.php
(note PCCA sticker prominently displayed on the last photo in the article :-) )

You can hit the author's blog here:

Also a news clip we got caught in over the Memorial Day weekend racing at the track:

I'm curious, what exactly does an electric drag car sound like when racing up to speed?
