The World's Fastest Electric Vehicles Didn't Go Very Fast At The Bonneville Salt Flats This Year 

Citation needed! as that's an awesome story

Same result, different venue - the South Dakota state patrol officer couldn't understand why I was so happy to receive that 72mph ticket. Only ticket I've ever framed 😎

Fun story but there is no official record for it. I check all 910 records for Bonneville. 1) there isn't a class listed that this car would fit into other than unblown production car, however those don't include diesels. There actually is no class listed with any record for a diesel car ( a truck named "Jesse's Truck Shop" ) holds the slowest record and that was 87.259mph.

@@jeremypilot1015 you checked all 910 records? You must be fun at parties.

@@gavinoliver8074 the official sight has all the records listed by year and class it actually only took a few minutes to find the class and find that this is a wives tale.

That sounds very uncomfortable

@@4x4Mudmaster yes, a sunburnt coochie isn't pleasant lol. I used to have a decent sized boat and lots of the boat bunnies would sunbathe sans clothing.....the bright white deck would reflect the sunlight upwards like the salt......

That's why my nuts were burning?

Ask any roofer what it's like! Always wear your undies people's.

@@rykerhasyounow Always pack twice as many underwear as you need!

as an adrenaline junkie, i see it as a 10" long thumb wide stretch of pure bolivian bugger sugar.

Yes

I rate them 420.69 out of 10.

420,690,000

His narratives are brilliant. All hail the algo... I can pick all traffic lights on a blurry picture better than a hum...

He is like "not just bikes"

“One of the greatest shows about cars on youtube” “The greatest one-man show about cars on youtube” Take your pick. Otherwise, them’s fightin’ words…

All hail the algorithm

Hail St algorithmus

Damn straight

It looked like it broke the blower belt, the belt then took flight through the hood and possibly struck the driver with debris as the wind screen is shattered. The throttle blades look like they are stuck wide open, too. Must have been pretty brutal. I'd have parked it too...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Someday!

All effort goes into race car, not much into tow car...

I spose they won't ever protect the area or won't until salt depth is nothing more than a light crust. Not that the oil, solvents, and garbage left by crews isn't enough of a threat ..

OK, we need to spam Rich Rebuilds with this!

Would preorder.

lol, mate and i went to go look at a creek under recently closed bridge/road. heavy rain. got too close when we parked, just slipping and sliding when we went to leave... starting to look ominous as we approach the edge. not sure how i got us out, but it was a combination of broken ratchet strap, buckets of wet sand, and a few big sticks and a driver with the sense to rock back and forth and not use the throttle. just as we get out, silly old busybody comes poking her nose in, jumps out of nowhere in the pouring rain, just as we get traction and start taking off at full throttle and suddenly theres a loony bat shining a flashlight in our eyes... um.... you dont stand in front of a car with its wheels spinning whilst the engines revving at redline! not when its dark, its raining, and we have no freaking idea you are THERE! full lock, hard brakes... and... we ended up in the creek. all that effort wasted because of that silly bitch. with a written off car. its an 8 metre drop! starts screaming we tried running her over. whilst we have fractured ribs, bleeding noses, concussion, the works. dont mind that we also nearly drowned. the creek was up. insurance company and police took a different view with the dashcam ;) we assume she had to sell to meet costs... cus the property was for sale a few months later, lol.

Winter tires make all the difference

Everyone who has ever put spd's on their mountain bike could not be reached for

e is hard to class as there are so many variables. do you class them by battery capacity? energy density? voltage? discharge ability? internal resistance? the rating of the inverter? the rating on the motor? what motor? what inverter? with RC, there wasnt that much variation. its 1:8, or 1:10. its nimh, nicad, or nothing. and its a 7.2V pack. and the 540 case motor can only deal with so much, only has so much "tuning" you can get from it. little bit more variety now, but yeah... still much the same really. only a few percent points of efficiency difference with controls, motors, blah... all pretty structured and set in stone.

All comments are 'engagement' that drives the algorithm

He also said that the Romans used it in Greek times. Then he said he didn't do any research about the history. I think you missed the joke.

Our boy is sarcastic to the core, which is one of the many things we love about him

Unfortunately it's not what Bonneville means in french (the correct translation is just "Good city". Source : I'm French), but it was funny tho x'D

Idunno, I quite like mine. Though it just tries to be a car and not a spaceship.

His Honda’s just so cute.

I notice how few of us there are!

I'm sure the Romans occupied Greece at some point.

@@GoldenGrenadier So the Americans of Afghanistan?

@@GoldenGrenadier Yes, and the smarter Greeks ended up as teachers for the smarter Romans. It's no coincidence the cultures were so similar. (E.g., Roman gods are renamed Greek gods.)

@@FFM0594 No. The Romans actually knew how to conquer a people.
