Yes!
ProEV
has done it.
ProEV's
Electric Imp ran six autocrosses in 2005. We ran in the Sports Car
Club of America D Modified class against ICE competition and we
won each time. This made us the Sports Car Club of America Florida
Region D Modified Champions.

Modern
EV's can be built that are powerful enough to go very quickly. They
have some advantages over ICE cars such as maximum torque at zero
RPM. They have some disadvantages like batteries weighing more than
gas.
To
win, EV's must use their advantages and minimize their disadvantages.
We
have proven that EV's can win in autocross but what about road racing?
The
last time a battery powered vehicle won a race, against gas powered
competition in a closed circuit road race, was September 11, 1896.
ProEV thinks it is about time that this 110 year record be broken.
Towards
this goal, we have started competing in road races with the Sports
Car Club of America. We have been quick but not yet reliable. <Read

Can
ProEV's Electric Imp beat ICE cars in the Sports Car Club of America's
Super Production class? We will have to see. Join us at the race
