Vector Electric tether car -- unofficially the World's fastest !!

6-1-2019 Today, at the NY AMRCA tether track the Vector ran 8 laps at an average speed of over 215 mph. This run was on a heavier cable than 10cc gas cars run on due to the extra weight. We also ran the first test of the new "light weight" Vector E4-CF, at an 8 lap average over 214 mph. Thanks to the NY crew for their help today !! It was a successful day !!

I used to drive one of these to work on the 91 freeway. The Highway Patrol could never catch me. The End.

This reminds me of watching my older brothers flying a cox engine airplane on a wire while going in circles. 😂😂

Seems like getting that cord wrapped around your leg during the start would result in a rough day.

Has any one ever let one go on the salt This is a need to know.

Just to give some perspective of the speed, the top speed measured was 216 mph, Formula 1 race cars have top speeds over 220 mph. Both are amazing.

Very efficient way to cut the grass too

Might have been significantly more interesting if we had a good view of the speed display and...maybe a look at the car?

Not familiar with this so this is why I’m asking but what if he where to accidentally fall or keep his foot down would he be decapitated haha ? Serious question

[WhittaII]

I'd definitely slice one of my feet off doing this haha. These guys are so smooth.

You blink you don't see the car do 2 laps.

[DavidGP]

Someone pls compute the rpm of those wheels at 200mph

[fungusmcbungus]

Imagine getting blasted in the ankle by that little rocket

[gmartin]

Looks like you could tangled up pretty easy if you weren’t paying close attention.

[Trapremix_ow]

But can it go in a straight line tho??

[muddwhistle]

When his parents told him to stop smoking so much weed and move out of the basement and get a job, I’m not sure this is what they had in mind

This would be great for Figure 8 racing. ;)

Air Canada gate agent is on that car after your flight has been cancelled

[patrickshaw]

Hey somebody give a good guess of "scale miles per hour" that thing is going. I say it's like a 1/12th scale car so it's doing over 1000 "scale mph" !!!!
