Drag racing after 2035?

[dieselfan1]

Watching the Gatornationals yesterday got me wondering.

Will the future be electric funny cars and Top Fuel? What about the Bikes?

I sure hope not. It would be so lame.

Would not be surprised at all to see all electric drags, classes, days, Nationals, etc.  And they will be faster than the top fossil burners too.  Less ear plugs too unfortunately.

And now why not electric

No doubt electrics will have a spot in drag racings future, anything that goes fast does imo. Same for other racing sports out there, but as we have seen with say the f-1 style ev cars they are rather borish to watch, when you essentially take away one of the main senses for people like the "sound" it lessons the product. It is why F-1 is huge and why e-1 is like women's soccer or basketball, people know it's there but don't care to follow it.

The all new 24hrs of Lemans. 8 hrs of racing 16hours watching battery charge. Sounds amazing lol

I've been trying to visit Garlits' museum since the 1980s or so!  Every time I drive by it's after hours or the middle of the night.  So late last year I resolved to make a special trip but then the Wuhan came to our home and I'm still recovering from it.  Hope Big Daddy is in good health, once he enters eternity, his kin may close the museum.  I missed Roy Rogers' place too.

i took think it would be very boring - but it looks like thats the way things are heading towards.....quite unfortunate in my opinion.

Would be boring. Might as well just go watch RC car racing. Truly no different except for scale.
