We have a new slogan at Plasma Boy Racing….11’s in 07!
I’m happy to report that Dick Brown (Aerobatteries) pulled through again for us this year and working with our sponsor Enersys, our new 40% more powerful batteries have arrived! This year White Zombie will again, be running on Hawker power, but instead of the 30 - 24.5 lb. 26 ahr Aerobatteries models we used last year, we will be using 60 of the smaller Genesis model 16 ahr batteries. Yes, these are nearly the same battery we ran with from ‘98 through ‘02, back when White Zombie had 28 of them making up an ultra-light 378 lb. 336V battery pack. Before they had been abused and super-heated to extreme hand-burning levels, we could pull 750 amps from them with very few failures. Even 800 amps was doable for less than 10 seconds. Yeah, we did blow quite a few of them up as the years were added on, but again, they only began to fail after substantial abuse. Details for those interested, can be found at the Plasma Boy web page…just click on the ‘White Zombie History’ button and scroll to ‘1998 Early Version’.
