Well it has 4 wheels......check it out
As some of you know, I have yet another "wheeled" hobby and its carts.....GOLF CARTS! And believe it or not....there is a GOLF CART DRAG RACING ASSOCIATION, anyway....one of my cart buddies is building him a new Electric DRAG CART. Yeah I know, some of you are laughing right now.....but you would be amazed. Robbie currently holds the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Electric Golf Cart in the 1/4 mile at 12.241 sec. and 118.76 mph. They set that last fall at the Darlington Dragway, SC. you can see the run on you tube if you want...... just put in "PQ Golf Cart sets World Speed Record @ 118.76 mph" and that's it.
ANYWAY.... he started building himself a new cart.....and has his sights set on a new record and 130 mph. The lithium battery pack is rated at 600 battery HP, full charge is 346 volts and 2,000 amps (a regular stock cart is either 36v or 48v tops with an amp draw between 275 to 300 amps MAX)......however, he only runs a max voltage of 180 volts and only uses 1,800 amps. I can't wait to see the videos of it run! Get a load of the "OH SH*T handle" for the potential passenger!! LOL and YES it will have a qualified 5 point harness.

That's crazy! That golf cart is running the same times I am lol. And probably feels like 300mph in that thing. Pretty cool.

but seeing as how Robbie has a lot going for him.....the cost of their "Racing Program" can be written off, as his dad, and he and his brother own/operate a Electric Motor Build/Rebuilding company.....thus by having the company name on the cart its considered ADVERTISING....and great advertising as they have a complete line of performance golf cart motors they sell and or rebuild yours to their specs.
