More Track Day Photos - October 30, 2007 by pardsbane

Here are some more pictures From the track day

Over all it was a great day, I got about 80 minutes of driving time in four 20 minute sessions. I learned a lot and by the end of the forth session I was really driving a lot more smoothly.

I need to work on my shifting, making sure I’m in the right gear before I enter the turn, so I don’t have to shirt during the turn. Other than that, I think I’m doing fine for a beginner. Can’t wait till next year!

Electric Pusher Trailers - August 1, 2007 by pardsbane

Some co-workers brought up the idea of creating an electric pusher-trailer to take the load off a gas-powered car… you know, incase you wanted a hybrid but couldn’t afford a Prius… or maybe you just can’t give up your Ferrari, but the gas bills are starting to get to you.

Anyway, I was curious if anyone else had ever thought of this, so I did some digging. It turns out no one has ever built an electric pusher, but the concept of pushing a car with a trailer is nothing new , except that usually its an electric car being pushed by a gas trailer.

Here are a few examples .

I did find two electric pusher trailers for bicycles however.
