Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-14 00:00:00 Alian Watson This book is a somewhat entertaining story. The beginning starts off a little slow by introducing all the characters and how Eric Ryan got his job, and how he settles into Northampton, Carolina. Eric Ryan was a science teacher who met Harold which was an automotive teacher and Harold's dream was to build an electric car. Harold sought it out and said we wouldn't be a town of losers, we'd be known for once. Eric Ryan and his class bunched up with Harold's students and got to work.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-06-27 00:00:00 Karlheinz Will Disclaimer: I drive an electric car and have met one of the teachers profiled in this book, so I am naturally pre-inclined to love this book. Which I did... a story about kids at a poor NC high school building an electric car and racing it against other schools. My favorite quote from the book is a quote from Richard Petty, after driving "Shocker": "That car has got some get-up-and-go, and it don't make no racket."
