Re: Woodburn - junior dragsters



Were there any EV Junior Dragsters?
 I'd think a 36 or 48 volt version would be an easy way to go EV Racing
with inexpensive, readily available parts. Say stick to the ICE Jr
Dragster rules and require the standard motor be a 2 HP golf cart model,
and maybe place a claim value on the cars to keep the costs down.
