Fellow DMCer's,
I attended the track testing of the electric Delorean this AM. To answer 
everyone's question, yes it is real! Bobby Allison drove the first two laps. 
The car developed according to the owner Carl Tilley "noise from driver's 
side rear axle bearing" so it only went 13 laps at a track that is 1.3 miles 
around. However he was nice enough to allow a few people access to the car up 
close. What this man has done with his Delorean is up there with Bob B. and 
Curtis. The test will be rescheduled for another date in the near future. The 
staff and crew were able to answer any and all questions. The crowd came from 
as far away as Okla, Fla, and one of our own from NY. I will let Kayo post 
his views upon his return. The car was quiet ( small hum) and the 
acceleration was smooth. Average speed on the track was about 70mph. Again 
this test will be redone and hopefully the 200 mile mark will be met. Carl's 
wife promised to contact me about the new date, will keep everyone posted.
