John, Marissa and crew arrive!
The White Zombie has a new look, as well as new Lithium Ion batteries!
What's under the hood? Not your usual motor...no carburetor, or most of the engine related parts...
Dow Kokam is the new battery sponsor!
This is the new battery system - lighter-weight Lithium Ion batteries.
You can sort of see the individual batteries from the side...
More new sponsors!
The Zombie always draws a crowd!
Tim Brehm - the driver...
Heading over to go through 'tech.'
This electric vehicle (EV) wasn't able to go down the track, but it is for sale...

The White Zombie and Tim are done with tech...
The trunk says, “Voltswagen.”
I'll bet you don't have anything like this in YOUR trunk... (^:
Many plugs...
Tim's helmet...
My favorite part... a power cord plugged in where the gas usually would go....no gasoline here!

A pretty good launch!
Another driver on the outside of his car. A friend of Gary's is racing his Mustang today...
Gary does his 'crank it up' dance!
Gary looks on...
I definitely chose the right bike to follow...watch his wheelie!
Up...
Higher...
Higher!
And higher still!
And down... We don't recommend that you try this...some racers have come off the bike...OUCH!
A Tim & White Zombie burnout!
80.77 mph...This was a mild first pass for Tim, on the new batteries...
The electric dragster...
A 3.82 second reaction time...
And he went 90.22 mph!

A nearly full moon tonight...
Here comes the White Zombie again!
The White Zombie starts to spark!
No sparks...
There were plenty more sparks as the White Zombie went down the track!
Mike
The red Tesla...he was here for last year's Wayland Invitational.
The blue Tesla is new this year!
The Tesla has a 3.10 reaction time. The car in the right lane went red...
The Tesla went 101.07 mph and the far lane went 122.53 mph.
The quarter mile in 13.100 seconds vs. 11.847 seconds...

Hang on Mike!
Going onto the trailer....
In she goes!
Now it's the White Zombie's turn!
More “pushers!”
Powered by “Lottsa Guys!” (^: (at the moement...)
They both fit!
The Zombie is going to get the spare, bigger motor put in and be back tomorrow night!
Tying the Zombie down...
It is his birthday today! Happy Birthday!
Dave coming back from a trip down the track....
It's a good thing Mike bought a big trailer!
That's it for the night... See you tomorrow evening for the second day of the Wayland Invitational V!
