John Wayland's White Zombie video
« on: November 15, 2008, 04:28:16 AM »
Check out the White Zombie in this drag racing video.

Hello to All,

John Wayland had written:

> OPB's 'Oregon Field Guide' is airing their story about White Zombie
> and electric drag racing in Portland, filmed nearly a year and a half
> ago in the summer of '07. Only folks in Oregon and Washington will
> receive the OPB broadcasts, but after it airs this week it will be
> available at the Oregon Field Guide web page as an archived video next
> week, here:

http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/videos/view/56-Electric-Drag-Racing

The above site now has the video all can view. I had figured they would
wait until after the last airing of the show this Sunday, but what the
heck, it's available now. Hope you all enjoy it.

See Ya...John Wayland

Great video, many thanks to you for posting it. Where is Plasma Boy Wayland for 2008, really miss him.
Also, The Air Gen-set worked @ 125 psi! However, more psi, efficiency and storage will be necessary.

John came out to the 5th EVer in May, 2006.  His White Zombie didn't see the drag strip due to the poor weather that weekend (they had to cancel the NEDRA event), however a few lucky souls (Steve G?) got to ride in his car.  We also were able to see him do some burnouts in the Pep Boys parking lot for an impromtu make up AFV show that Saturday.

John is quite a pioneer and excels at what he is doing.  If anyone ever gets the chance to see his car I would encourage you to do so.  He's also a dynamic speaker and quite a motivator.
