A golf cart conversion to dragracer: it seems like asking for trouble. Hang an electric block, and you know that you are not without wheelie bars.

Terry Hatfield is the man behind the golf cart-electric-dragracer-project. He wants to have a speed of 160 kilometers per hour (100 mp/h) in the small car squeeze, but remained until now stuck at 156 km/h. Therefore, he decided a block with extra torque to take to the dragstrip.

That seems useful if you’re looking for a better acceleratiesnelheid, but it is also, of course, in that you what extra precautions need to take. We regularly see serious drag racers the air, so you know what can happen if you are in a custom golf cart to get. At least, that you might think…

Hatfield seems to have never of wheelie bars heard of them and sprint at full speed away. That he had better not do it.
