  • Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper GONE but NOT
    Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper Electric-powered cars have long been a dream for sci-fi writers, energy producers and automotive enthusiasts. In concept, this goal seems easily attainable, but for years inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers alike have tried and ultimately failed to design a reliable and economically attractive electric vehicle. While the recent introduction of gas-electric hybrids has brought the vision closer to reality, the all-electric automobile has steadfastly remained a distant point on our automotive horizon. This may be about to change. In July, Tesla Motors, a three-year old startup company based in San Carlos, California, introduced a prototype of its first all-electric automobile, the Tesla Roadster. A true sports car, the Roadster is hand-built, sleekly designed, fast and nimble. It boasts a range of 250 miles with a top speed of 130 mph. The company plans an initial production run of 100 vehicles at a cost of $100,000 per car, with the first automobile slated for delivery in the summer of 2007. Tesla Motors is the first of a number of enterprising companies who are bringing electric automobiles to the marketplace. The Tesla Roadster is also the first commercially available automobile to incorporate an electric motor powered by a copper motor rotor. This innovative advancement in metallurgical technology increases efficiency, resulting in greater overall power and longer operating distances between charges. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Tesla Motors takes its name from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant pioneer in electrical research. Tesla was fascinated by the potential of electric automobiles, and in 1930 he tested his theories with a car that achieved a top speed of 90 miles an hour.

  • 2021 Thunder Roadster Rules
    Thunder Roadster Official 2021 National Rules (Rules subject to change) May 18, 2021, Version 2.2c © 2019–2021 (Note: Latest revisions are in blue font, and all previous revisions are in green) 1. Introduction The Thunder Roadster Series was created to meet the needs of competitors seeking a low-cost platform utilizing the purpose-built Thunder Roadster chassis and specified parts designed and manufactured by U.S. Legend Cars International. The series focus is on fun, safe, and affordable racing while encouraging driver development, close competition, and comradery between its competitors. 2. Intent The intent of the rules is to establish a clear precedent for discouraging creative interpretation and instead encouraging a ‘showcase’ of driving skill. The series rules seek to eliminate frivolous spending by utilizing specified parts from U.S. Legend Cars International including chassis, body, suspension, brake and engine parts available through authorized dealers or aftermarket suppliers. Other than the modifications specifically allowed in these rules, every part of the car must remain as it came from the factory. The Thunder Roadster is intended to be raced in its preferred class, Thunder Roadster (TR) and may also compete in the appropriate Super Touring (ST) and Time Trial (TT) classes. 3. Sanctioning Body The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) sanctions the Thunder Roadster Series competitions. All decisions made by the series administration are final, except under certain Thunder Roadster Rules 2021 2.2 1 conditions, as specified by the NASA CCR. It is also mandatory that all Thunder Roadster Series competitors have both a current copy of the CCR and the Thunder Roadster Series rules with them during all race events.
