    Zero to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds -- White Zombie electric dragster makes believers out of fossil fuel hot-rodders

    John Wayland  runs a political machine on 12 lithium polymer batteries. 

    It's a 1972 Datsun called "White Zombie," and it's one of the fastest street legal electric cars in the world. It's been clocked doing zero to 60 mph in 2.95 seconds. It's walloped Corvettes, Camaros and 600-horsepower Vipers in quarter-mile drag races using lead-acid batteries.

    This weekend, White Zombie returns to Portland International Raceway for what Wayland hopes is another round of record-breaking electrical hot-rodding. The car also is Wayland's vehicle to champion a host of causes important to him, from promoting clean air and water to fighting against dependence on foreign oil. 

    "I run on American-generated electrons," Wayland says outside his Northeast Portland home. In his garage, a crew of three mechanics were putting the finishing touches on the Datsun's new batteries, which they spent six months making by hand. 

    The cells originally were designed for the rotor crank on military helicopters. They'll be half the weight and twice the power of White Zombie's old batteries. 

    "I'm not going to save the world," says Wayland, who just turned 59 and has been building electric cars since 1980. "But I might help tip it one way or the other."
