It would seem he studied aerodynamics at the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid 
School for Aerodynamics.  I suspect his engineering skills came from a 
similar source. I think the SCTA or USFRA, should challenge this guy to 
bring the car to the salt to see if it will even go a mile under full 
boogie conditions. The roll cage should be an interesting construct! It 
mostly appeared to be an electric golf cart rebodied and presumeably 
rebadged to Pryamid Auto Works or PAW which is what he will likely be 
using when it runs out of electrons....
