ford built a 8 second cobra jet. almost like i have a sixth sense. no more gas cobra jets? http://www.competitionplus.com/drag-...tric-cobra-jet

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

I dont think this car is replacing the Cobrajet cars, I read a couple articles and it never suggested it was the replacement of gas burning cars. Watson said they were working on the project so they probably know better than anyone other than Ford.

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

Just race video games like Nascar, no noise, no interest for me

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

YES!!!

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

I think NHRA needs to look into it as F1, MotoGp, and others have series. Heard a rumor that Nascar will be in a few years as well. The only difference with the ones i stated compared to the nhra is driving is a factor in the other catergories. In Drag racing usually the crew chief and tuner play a bigger role in a win with the heads up pro categories.

Does anyone know if weather plays a role in performance of a battery driven vehicle?

Check with Jeff Lane or Pat McCue. They are both members here. They are the people behind the eCopo Camaro that made runs at select events about a year ago, if I remember correctly.

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

Look at the bright side. Drag strip owners would not have to worry about noise ordinances. You could build a drag strip next to a church or an old peoples home and you could race until the wee hours of the morning.There has to be some other redeeming factors to racing electric cars but those are the only two I have thought of, so far. But I am only on my third Jim Beam on the rocks. I do some of my best thinking with Jim. More later...…..

Thank you young man! Nice to see a real gear head speak up.
Get yourself a GM- Mopar or Ford muscle car and go for it! I am in total agreement. They should have their own ( High Amperage ) Class!

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

I watched the test on the new cobra jet EV last night. Pretty cool and damn fast. 8.66 @ 160. But they need to have a class of there own. Not race with us. I bet you can tweek that electric stuff to run dead on every time. Ill take Race Gas and noise anyday.

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

Try checking out the NEDRA (National Electric Drag Racing Association) site. They have classes and rules and national records. You'd almost think they were real drag racers. :eek:

Re: nhra stock needs electric car class
 

Could start the classes at AA/Shock for the big subway train motor cars down to W/Shock for the cordless drill motored cars.
