More Wayland Video
I know I'm pretty late posting this, but in case there's anyone out there wanting to see more, here are some more videos from Portland.
This video shows my first run Saturday night, a race between me in my Roadster vs. White Zombie. Richard shot the video which shows how WZ totally outlaunched the Roadster, but then the Roadster matched speeds. As I was flying down the track, I was slowly gaining on WZ but not nearly fast enough to catch up in the 1/4 mile. Still, it was pretty exhilarating. Later that evening, I believe WZ put in a sub-12 second time, I'm sure that would have not felt so close.

This is my second run on Saturday night, against ScottFe, a very close and exciting race.

Later that evening, Richard drove my Tesla against ScottFe:

Saturday afternoon, we converged on John Wayland's house, aka the EV Juice Bar, and charged up for the races. We had three Teslas, a Tango, White Zombie and more all charging at the same time. TEG posted my video clip earlier (thanks!), but if you missed it, here's the link:

The Tango was buried three cars deep in the driveway when it was done charging and wanted to head out. We were still working on clearing the way when he just made his own route:

A half dozen Seattle-area owners are planning to converge on Pacific Raceways Friday evening for some more drag racing fun closer to home. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about that soon.
