Hope not !

I doubt you will see them around in our type of racing in the near future. NHRA would have to get some very electronic savvy tech personnel to be able to monitor what ever rules that would have to be written for the electric cars or hybrids. I am not in favor of them in our classes.

Section 4G is Electric powered vehicles. It's followed by Electric powered motorcycles. Harley has a killer eBike.

If you google electric drag bike there is some interesting stuff.
I remember seeing something about a European electric
formula 1 type series. I wonder if that is doing any good ?

The NHra brain trust will have them in stock and have them in the same classes with carbureted cars. LOL

Rumor has it - MOPAR is not far behind.

I'd be first in line to Run an electric Stocker. Total control over how much power it makes and when/where it makes it. No More weather station. Charging batteries in between late rounds might be an issue.
