I looked at a few forums and that diyelectriccar linked to above was probably the most popular one and it had the most information.

Dealing with hundreds of volts without any idea of what you are doing is just asking for a one way trip to the pearly gates. These people should start smaller, like brushless RC. A lot of the principles are the same or similar.

as long as they use a video camera..... it should be interesting

maybe we have the workings of a new reality hit TV show!
