Tesla Motors Club

In April of 2014 I was approached to film Don Garlits in his new electric dragster the SR-37 (Swamp Rat) at the Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida. He was attempting to set the record at 200MPH. I scrambled to to keep six cameras going in very hot and humid conditions. In between runs Don "discovered" Shaun Lawless's Tesla "S" and ended up doing half a dozen runs down the track. Direct quote from Don; "It's pretty fast for an electric car!". One of his Tesla runs is @ 2:09 in the movie link below:

Don ended up with best time of 184MPH that day. Not bad for an 84 year old youngster.
