> Students break acceleration world record...for electric vehicles. ...that made the effort to submit to Guinness. In racing, established racing orgs are where racing records matter. 0-60 just isn't relevant in drag racing. Any optimum 1/4 mile run under 7s doesn't spend nearly as long as these students did dawdling along under 60 mph. NEDRA record 1/4 mile runs have been under 7 seconds for at least 10 years. http://nedra.com/record_holders.html http://nedra.com/record_holders.html The current fastest run ticked off 0-60 mph in under a second. The 60 foot time was over a second. That means they ticked off 0-60 mph in significantly less than 60 feet (~18m). Submitting that 0-60 time to Guinness would require lots of work and time, and wouldn't be relevant to competing or their sponsors. https://insideevs.com/news/447378/video-custom-electric-motorcycle-breaks-world-record/ https://insideevs.com/news/447378/video-custom-electric-moto... So, this Guinness record is still easy pickings, as these things go. I'd bet nothing more than moving this run to proper sticky drag strip pavement instead of that grotty old runway would scrub off a tenth or two. Then better drag tires, drag optimized suspension, maybe all wheel drive, gearing optimization, weight reduction, weight placement optimization... and sooner or later Guinness is going to stop taking 0-60 mph submissions for safety reasons.
