Yeah, I saw it. The truck only weighed 3400 lbs. too!! I hate to say it but battery powered vehicles will probably be a new class in the future of drag racing.

yep, most people don't understand how powerful a electric motor is. While it may have only been "23" hp, the torque is insane and electric motors make the same torque from 1 rpm to max rpm. Only problem is for us guys who work on jobsites and regularly go thru 15" or more of water. Also, toyota has sucked up the hybrid battery marked for the next 3 to 4 years.
