Anticipating 10,000 spectators to see his "back to the future" DeLorean converted to an electric car with endless charger, inventor Carl Tilley met with massive disappointment when a wheel bearing gave out after a few warm-up laps Saturday, Sept. 7 at the 80,000-seat Nashville Superspeedway, attended by a meager 200 people, mainly consisting of regional die hard fans of alternate energy technologies.

"DeLorean's are notorious for this," commented a DeLorean owner in attendance. "I had two bearings go out in one month once."
