Just did the calculation...

Acceleration is 3.2G average over the whole course. Too bad it doesn't show mid speed -- it would be interesting to see acceleration for the first 1/2 of the track.

Note that Top Fuel dragsters average about the same acceleration (and the world record run was at approx 3.4G.) Top fuelers are considered the fastest accelerating manned vehicles in the world...

How cool is it that an electric scale model performs almost exactly on par with fuel powered full-scale?
