I found this by David: http://www.electricracenews.com/2012...medium=twitter

As a side note, I did a wire harness and bench test for a motor/controller to be used in one of the EVs to compete. However I don't know the team name. I'll know the car when I see it. So I hope they run.

Brute dude,

It has been postponed due to fire. You have to wait a bit longer.

Heh... I bet this was for Kleenspeed. I only know this because they bought our throttle assembly, and then proceeded to ask me lots of technical questions which, they admitted, their inverter/motor package supplier should have answered. Not too impressive, that.

No. I've seen those guys' shop a few years back. They were running ACPropulsion drives then.

Were you sworn to secrecy? or can you share a few details about an 'anonymous' set up?

Anyone using co2 blasts or other trickery to cool the motor? In such a short race, a dry-ice hopper would probably work too..

Monster Tajima isn't racing!?! Woohoo! The rest of us have a chance!!



And maj, they *were* running AC Propulsion... They chose them over us a few years ago, and then they chose the Rinehart system over us again this year. Not that I'm bitter or anything...
