Students building electric 1/4 mile dragster.

From Wired.com.

Students at a high school just north of the Canadian border are in the process of turning an ‘89 Toyota pickup with a blown engine into a drag racing EV.

A 14 second quarter mile isn’t going to break any records, but it’s just a starting point. “Race projects are never finished,” Mynott said. “They are an exercise in team building and continued revision.” In the future, the team will look at different batteries and a dual motor setup. “If we break something, like other drag racers out on the track, we will enjoy the adventure of the repairs and continued experience of pushing in a different direction,” Mynott said.

Damn my DoDDs High School for not letting us build cars like this.
