Hi everyone,

Would anyone be interested in my ticket to drag race on Sunday? It looks like I might not be able to go. I understand there's a long waiting list...PM me if interested.

crap Ron, I was looking forward to seeing you again.... You were one of my very first MS rides.

I'll be there! Since it is my Mother's birthday, I will be late, but I am heading up straight after brunch!
Where can I find a schedule breakdown for the day - All I can find is that the event is 9:00-5:00?

 

[Brightonuk]

That's it just head to head racing to 5pm no schedule

Hot off the edit suite, today's drag races. I'm not sure who all our Tesla drivers were but I know Bill D's P85 (#122) and Joer00's P85D (#97) are in there. Number 89 against the white GT-R (Steve or Nick?). Number 87, the black Tesla anyone? My effort up against a Merc E63 AMG is at the end. No contest but I did beat him off the line (13.5s for the 1/4 mile for me).

I think 89 was Steve. I was 91.

 

[PBEndo]

I think 89 was Steve.

I can confirm that.

1.68 sixty foot time was the best I saw for a P85D. That is impressive. Some hopped up GTRs and Porsche TTs were in the 1.5xs but almost everything else was in the twos

Nice videos Dan Thanks

Cant believe I staged against another bloody GTr but I don't feel so bad after seeing the shouty Lambo get the same treatment (I was staged against that lambo but asked the guy in the GTR if he wanted to try I thought I had no chance but seeing the race I wish I had tried.

The first race was Brookes D against the hellcat which was a complete letdown as the hellcat just spun off the line and the D was gone.
Joe and his new D got a wake up call after looking at the back of the electric Porsche (That apparently was built by school kids) but it was fast as was the souped up Cadillac that took a few of us.

All in all a good days racing, one let down was only two 240 chargers were operational so most of us were running at 50-60% charge I went back later and all the outlets were iced so I called it a day
Thanks to everyone that turned up to watch and race

Tesla P85D Destroys Dodge Challenger Hellcat On Dragstrip: Electric Car Thrashes 707-HP Hemi (Video)

But the appeal of raw electric power is amply demonstrated in the video.
So which soon-to-be-humbled high-performance car will be next to face off against the P85D?
And, now, can we please stop with the "wimpy electric golf car" stuff?

Some photos from yesterday while we lined up 11 Model S for a photoshoot Nick staged.

An array of Teslas gracing the grounds of the Palm Beach International Raceway.

The S85 had the predictable jump on the Mustang, but did not have enough to win the race.

S85 vs P85D. I wonder which one won?

The Florida Sandhill Cranes did not even bother looking up as the Tesla pulled up beside them.
