Oceanside Companies Set World Record

America has a new record for the World’s Fastest Electric Vehicle and the story behind that record begins here in Oceanside. Two local Oceanside companies, Moon Buggy Engineering owned by Trenton Wonsley and Revolt Systems owned by Eddy Borysewicz partnered together to convert Team Vesco’s “Little Trenton Wonsley and Eddy Borysewicz Giant” (a former gas-powered streamliner) to electric, beating both the national and world records at an average speed of 353.87 MPH. Borsewicz whose career started in software development, recently launched his new company Revolt Systems located in Ocean Ranch to focus on high-end electric propulsion and the electric hot rod industry. When the opportunity was presented from car owner Rick Vesco, whose family is a legend in the racing industry, to design what is now the world’s fastest electric vehicle, Borsewicz immediately reached out to Wonsley who has engineered dozens of conversion projects over his career. Projects that include the first electric Ferrari, Maserati BiTurbo, dune buggies- and most recently was featured on Jay Leno’s Garage series where Leno himself drove Wonsley’s converted Porsche 912 and said it was “one of the best [he’s] ever driven.” If you see an old hot rod or classic car that silently flies by you on the road, it’s very likely Oceanside’s own Wonsley has had a role. “What our team has accomplished ultimately changes the competition in land speed racing and how the world views electric vehicles as it relates to speed and technology,” said Borsewicz. This is the first dual Tesla motor configuration used in a streamliner to date. Top speeds like this also wouldn’t be possible without the driving expertise of Eric Ritter, Team Vesco’s driver from Queens, New York who has personally topped speed at 430 MPH. “The torque curve is just so unreal to drive. It stayed hooked up the whole run and with a 2 1/4-mile time at over 303 mph it was like being a test pilot on a sled rail. I never thought I would be doing record runs in a Tesla powered race car, but I am definitely hearing 400 mph calling my name and a tour at the Tesla factory,” describes Ritter. Team Vesco is a family race team that began with Rick’s father John Vesco back in 1933. Their other land

speed vehicle, the Turbinator II powered by a turbine engine is the fastest wheel driven car in the world. In 2018 it reached a top speed of 503 MPH. Today, with help from Oceanside’s Revolt Systems and Moon Buggy Engineering, they now have the world’s fastest vehicles in both gas-powered and electric. “I grew up in the garage fixing cars with my dad,” Wonsley reflects. Today, that hobby has grown into one of the greatest moments of my career – achieving a world record with Eddy, Team Vesco, Greg Peek and a whole team behind us, in an evolving and dare I say revolutionary way because we achieved it with a
