I don't disagree with anything he says. Kids these days would rather play video games or screw around on their phones than watch fuel cars or do the work needed to race. EPA and DHS? He's spot on. It may be delayed a few years given the results of the last election, but it's coming. Those agencies are all powerful. It won't be an all of a sudden deal, rather death by a thousand cuts. Anyone paying attention to what the EPA's been up to? Anyone paying attention to the state of professional drag racing? They can barely get 16 cars to show up. The import stuff has mostly dried up. The young people I see racing are into small tire, EFI, turbo type stuff, and they couldn't care less about the NHRA pros.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Electric cars my rear end. They'd have to pay me. If it doesn't make noise and run off of something explosive, I'm not interested. Electric car drag racing? May as well do this... https://www.facebook.com/classicsdailyy/videos/288955784863986/

judge the formula e stuff, does it have big ratings, don't know but it is too quiet for me Did you hear that electric dragster leave the line? All I heard was the tires a little. How boring is that to watch.

How boring is that to watch. Exactly. It's the noise and visual that get people excited when watching Top Fuel cars racing. It makes it a spectacle that they want to talk about later, describing it to others.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Yes it is the noise and the pounding on your chest when a top fuel car leaves the line.. love it.. but the electric stuff is cool.. I've played with with the Formula SAE cars for years and now they have electric versions also.. its coming whether we want it or not.. might be 20 years or less.. who knows
