2010 Tesla Roadster Sport (right lane) vs 2008 Tesla Roadster at Pacific Raceways 8/7/09

If you look closely in this video, the 2008 Tesla in the left lane got a PERFECT start with a reaction time of 0.00 seconds. My reaction time was 0.24 seconds. My quarter mile time was 2/10 of a second faster (12.96 vs 13.16), but he nipped me at the finish by 0.04 seconds because of his incredible start. That was ScottFe's son driving at the time. His first time at the track. It was a great race.

No. That was me leaning over and posing for the camera. A Roadster cockpit is small. It doesn't take much to reach across.
