Sarasota, FL August 17th - This weekend was the first time Redline Time Attack has visited the historic Sebring International Raceway. Many records were set including the first by a production based Hybrid racecar. Blake Fuller piloted the Braille Battery Nissan Altima “Hot Rod Hybrid” to a 2:49.126 lap time winning the FWD Street Tire category and setting the record for the class in a Hybrid racecar.
The Braille Battery race team came to this Redline Time Attack at Sebring with high hopes of competing with some of the fastest Time Attack racecars in the nation. Braille Battery has built the first ever Hybrid to race in Redline Time Attack history. This gas/electric racecar may not be the fastest vehicle on the track but it is breaking new ground for future technology. Driver and owner Blake Fuller of the Braille Battery “Hot Rod Hybrid” had this to say about the event. “We couldn’t be happier with this weekend setting a Hybrid record at Sebring,” said Fuller. “The car ran flawless and these Yokohama Neova tires were awesome. We believe that Hybrid and electric racecars are the future of racing. I think this is a great step in making “Green” cool for the young people that see Redline Time Attack as the place to see modern day Hot Rods.”

Braille Battery will take the Nissan Altima Hot Rod Hybrid to future race events car shows and Eco “Green” events this year. Visit http://www.uti.edu/UTI-Nissan-Hot-Rod-Hybrid to see how this car was built with help from students at Universal Technical Institute.
