DC power, Power, POWER!

I love all of the… er… juice that electric-powered drag racing has been getting lately. I just found out today, via the HacDC e-list, that there’s electric drag racing right near me, the Power of DC, coming up the end of August, in Hagerstown, MD. It’s the 9th annual race, hosted by the Electric Vehicle Association of DC.

And yes, the race will be held on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!
