For the first time ever at Brainerd International Raceway, an electric dragster takes the track. Zachary Vex’s “Frankenstein 2” runs up to one million watts. The crew makes a number of runs, increasing slowly from 1,000 amps up to 2,700 amps. Weather delays do not allow Frankenstein 2 an attempt at breaking ten seconds on the quarter mile on this trip to Brainerd, but the crew hopes to try again later this month.
