         This is way better than just feeding mayonnaise to tuna fish

When I came across the world's quickest electric motocycle [1] (link via
Flutterby [2]) that can do 0–60 in one second and the ¼ mile in 8, I thought
of Gregory [3], but I'm not sure why. Gregory isn't the crotch-rocket type of
guy.

Then I had an idea: the X-Prize [4] guys have it all wrong! They shouldn't be
rewarding a more efficient gas-powered car [5]. No—they should be sponsoring
an all-electric car race!

Think of it—the Electric Daytona 500! The only limitation—the vehicle has to
be powered solely by electrons. No other restrictions on size, weight or
shape. The first past the checkered flag after 500 laps wins the prize. Make
it an annual event, and I guarentee you'll see rapid electric car
innovations.
