What if somebody made a version of NASCAR using only electric cars?
Or would the "Golf Cart 500" be too slow for all but the almost dead?

2. well . . . perhaps a "Golf Cart 5"
or they might stretch it to 50 . . . .

but 500 would certainly lengthen the race time-wise with all those 8-hour recharges

6. This is an interesting idea...
They're getting ready to ship the Tesla roadster, which goes like hell. Eventually someone will race them.

They race golf carts already.
