Zo vertrekt een dragster met 2000 elektrische pk's
In just 7.258 seconds went Don ‘Big Daddy’ Garlits and his electric dragster on the quarter mile line in Florida.

The usual videos of top fuel dragsters we know now: with a lot of noise pops the CO2 rocket on a dragstrip in the hope that the vehicle will cross the finish line in one piece, while we have the opposite hope.

Now that last one is perhaps also for this electric dragster, but CO2 emissions is not the case. Well, making noise in the sustainable dragster again. In this case, however, it is not only the engine that the decibels it produces. What you hear is mainly the tires that immense torque to try to legs.

Big Daddy Garlits reached with his recordrun a top speed of 184.01 miles per hour, or 296.14 km/h. Its intended speed of 200 miles per hour is not met, but that makes the video no less spectacular. At the end refuses his parachute incidentally, the service, but it is apparently still well off with the American.
