Steve Huff, pioneer and innovator of electric drag racing, passes away at 58

Steve Huff, who made global headlines in 2020 as the designer, builder, and driver of the world’s first 200 mph electric dragster, passed away May 21 from cancer. He was 58.

In a professional racing career spanning more than 30 years, Huff set more than 20 national and world speed records but earned international exposure through exhibition passes at NHRA national events and established himself as a pioneer and innovator of drag racing’s electric future.

In 2020, after being diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic upper tract urothelial cancer in 2020, he rechristened his dragster “Faster Than Cancer” and met the challenge with the same determination and grit he brought to all aspects of his life and racing career.
