This is the first street bodied car to break 100 mph in the quarter mile back in 1998. It still holds a NEDRA World Record from 1999 in MC/B class which is "Modified Conversion B class. The B is for the voltage range. I turned 11.2 at 108 mph on a relatively low voltage of 216 volts of lead acid batteries. We are now rebuilding the car to run 360 volts.
