| Suck Amps | The web-home of Roderick Wilde and his racing team.
Suck Amps EV Racing is the latest name for the racing team of EV Parts Inc. It is the offshoot of Rodericks The Wilde Bunch Team Electric Racing from the early days of EV racing at Wilde Evolutions, Inc. The term Suck Amps was coined in 1993 by Abby Wilde, Rodericks wife at the time. She was being interviewed by a film crew at the Solar and Electric 500 at PIR (Phoenix International Raceway in Phoenix Arizona) right after Roderick had run away with the C Stock event. They asked her how he was able to do so well. She replied that Roderick had won by sucking a lot of amps and sucking amps became a slang term synonymous with electric racing. Suck Amps EV Racing continues to push the envelope of electric vehicles in order to pave the way for acceptance of this very old form of transportation. As Roderick says: We live in a fad culture. If EVs become cool then everyone will want one and this chunk of ground we inhabit will be a much better place.
