Re: TASCA and his amazing electric cobra Jet.

We should at the very least keep an open mind to technology and innovation.

I'm sure that the people that develop the electric cars have a lot of time and money invested. That's fine, but other than being a demonstration vehicle for the impending doom of every manufacturer eventually switching their entire lineup of vehicles to all electric they currently have ZERO business running as a "Stocker" and I guarantee that is the eventual goal. And as quickly as the suits can make it happen.
For myself, they have ZERO interest. NO vroom vroom. They could run 5's in the quarter and I still wouldn't care. Fords "Mach E" is bad enough. Why is it necessary to denigrate the Mustang heritage like this? Rant over. Have a nice day.

Amen brother!!! my exact thoughts, you couldn't have said it better!!!

Well our country definitely has the "invasion" part covered! ;)

Generator noise from all the motorhomes is not too bad but with an electric car category the noise from all the 220 generators running could be overwhelming.
Hot lapping could be their downfall, like watching a bunch of NASCAR's running out of fuel on the last lap.

Jet Dragsters and Wheelstanders are cool too! That is all.

My family has been die hard Blue Oval as far back as I can remember. Countless Mustangs and other Fords forever. My nephew purchased a Mach E and we agreed that we would not call it a Mustang...LOL. Yes it is fast as all get out but too quiet. I told him he needed some kind of audio file that sounded like the Bullitt chase scene when he is hot rodding it around. :D

Not a single track has closed due to “noise”. Track closures are because the tree hugging, sandal wearing, granola eat retards who think everything associated with the industrial Revolution is horrible just use “noise” and the excuse.

These sick, demented freaks want to control your every thought and life passion you have, and they have no problem doing whatever it takes to stop you from doing something they don’t agree with.

Decades later, long after the destruction of the logging industry out here in the north west it is now common knowledge that the “spotted owl” will live in ANY tree, not just “old growth” like these lying bolsheviks wanted the country to believe. The lie didn’t matter. It was the end result to strangle and then control the almost dead body of the logging industry.

What’s the connection to closing drag strips all over the country? They are one and the same issue. Someone is doing something they enjoy that the communists don’t want you to do (logging, drag racing, dirt biking...anything with an ICE is an open enemy to the marxists and their stupid stooges) so they use any excuse the can to get you to stop doing what you love. Because they are smarter than you, know what is better for you and you are just too stupid to know what is good for you (I include myself in the “you” here...I’m not singling anyone out).

Electric cars are stupid and useless. They are not cleaner, cheaper or more effective than any ICE driven surface transportation.

To align oneself with electric cars is to work with the enemy to slowly slit the throat of drag racing and any other ICE based sport or hobby.

You can bet your bottom dollar on that.

And as for the electric car keeping drag racing going, I’d rather drag racing just stop now and write the history books on what it really was. Saying drag racing electric cars is drag racing is the same as saying putt putt golf is an Olympic sport. BTW, ice dancing isn’t a Olympic sport either.

Just my humble .02.
