I already think it is awesome. I don't care if it is gas, diesel or electric power. Heck, I would drive it with a gang of hamsters running on wheels if it would get me down the track that quickly.

10.02 is awesome.

Yawn... Same unimpressed feeling we get with electric Jr Dragsters. One thing we noticed in the Jr world is that they are not nearly as consistent (yet) as they claimed. However, tire spin is completely nonexistent because of the ability to tune the power curve with a laptop - legal or not, how could they possibly police that....

Neither of my boys could give a S about the E cars.

If I was deaf I wouldn't mind so much but since I still have my hearing I kinda want to hear noise. That's the reason nitro cars pack the stands.

I will say it is rather humiliating getting beat by an electric at the drag strip. Family fun-day last year and I got lined up with a Tesla. I thought he red lit as it simply drove away. It was my first time to the strip in 10 years and had the best times I have ever gone.
