Actually, this was Jesus' car. The video was posted earlier.

We did see a Prius there with track numbers but never saw it race. I think he pulsed and glided his way to the best milage of all the competitors.:biggrin:

Um.... I am not really sure if I should start pointing out the reasons that a Prius is a horrible idea for a race car.. I am pretty sure the list would be most of the page long. The main issue is that its unlikely that the charging system wouldn't work well. Some times I think people do stuff like this just to get media attention... FAIL!

Our Prius has pretty good electric torque off the line and up to about 30 mph. It's super heavy though -- stripped it might be kind of fun to try autoX with it.
