From Electric Classic Cars.
After 2 years of building BugZappa the time has finally come – it’s RACE WEEK.
As you’ll discover in this episode, it wasn’t exactly plane sailing when we got to Colorado. Despite all the testing we did in the UK there was no way we could simulate Pikes Peak. The race is a monster. But after 3 weeks of hard graft we got the car in a state that could make it up this historic hill climb. Sit back, relax and find out how we got on.

Also, we’d like to say a HUGE thank you to our sponsors, Mouser Electronics. Click on the link below for all your electronic component needs:
Also, thanks to all you guys that donated to our GoFundMe campaign and got your name on the wing of the car. You can now officially boast to your mates that your name has raced up Pikes Peak.
And finally a huge thanks to Nick and the amazing guys at Classic EV Conversions who helped us not only with shipping the car and parts over to Colorado but also helped us overcome all the issues when we were over there and lent us workshop space to make it all happen.
Also big shout out to Zack and the guys at Hot Rod Heaven who pulled out all the stops to help get us to the start line on time.
