Thanks Patrick!

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

That's too cool! Just based on visual observation, my car seems to pull harder in the earlier stages and the seems to top out a little before the finish line. Too bad nobody includes a mid track mph sensor with the timing systems available these days to record the speed. I for one would love to know how the acceleration is over the course of the run.
