The truck is a 1987 Chevy Silverado that kicks out 3,000+ horsepower and will be run on peanut oil.
On November 12th Yahoo! Autos will be racing in El Mirage, Ca on the edge of the Mojave desert to set the land speed record for the world's fastest 'greasel.'

I call my greasecar, "Grease Lightening". Something similiar. I think it is funny with all this hybrid technology trying to get 60-100mpg. Diesel engines were designed to originally run on peanut oil - BACK IN 1900, when Rudolph Diesel unveiled it at the World's Fair. In 2006, there are European carmakers like Opal that have diesels producing 100-200mpg. Hmmmmm....... It seems we dont need all this fancy gas/electric gizmos with no real world long term relability results. We should explore diesels more until hydrogen catches up.
