I was a contestant on Pastime in Phoenix. One of the cars on my show was this electric dragster. He tried to through us off, by saying it had something like "20 horsepower" motor. But "torque" is what moves the car and I figured that it had to be quick because of the size of the slicks, chassis lenght and the top level of safety equipment (I assumed NHRA "required") he wore. Fortunetely, I guessed correctly and won that round.
It was funny standing next to it as he launched and "hearing" the tires slip in the VHT prepped surface.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
