IF late model racing went

[TwistedNate01]

All electric. Sound box optional. Would you still support/be a fan?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Absolutely not

[BTExpress]

Count me out!!!!

[ftfiowa]

of course i would.

[Josh Bayko]

If the racing was good, sure.

[Highside Hustler25]

Nope...........

[Black F]

if it was to happen, we wont be here to see it. so no.

[cjsracing]

Of course, the sound has no bearing on me.

[formercrewguy]

Never....................

[Buford.Justice]

So how many laps would it take to drain a battery? No more 100 or 50 lappers??? Then there would be battery drain that could also slow a car well before a race is over.

Count me out.

Crashes would be far more dangerous in reality, so it sounds like something that won't ever happen.

Toxic oxides while racing and also battery leaks would be dangerous for the drivers, maybe even the fans.

And the land, track and pits could be contaminated. Sounds like an EPA point of interest for sure.

Racecars with batteries would have to be reengineered and would not handle nearly as well.

Power drains would be so extreme that overheating cables would be a huge problem.

And then there would be the main problem of you would be in the restroom or motorhome and not even know a race was going on, on the track. lol

I listened to Nascar's Steve O'Donnell on Corey LaJoie's podcast "Stacking Pennies" and this subject came up. He said they have to explore all avenues that the future of motorsports may go, including electric. But he said the racing needs to be entertaining and fun, and right now EV-Racing isn't at that point. If EV-racing becomes a thing, it will come from the manufacturers.

If you care to listen fast forward 28 minutes in and the subject only goes for a couple minutes.

Clayton, you nailed it with this post. Two gold stars for you.

[fastford]

I am no EV hater , but I would not like this , especially as a fan , the sound and smell is part of the allurement ......

[Black F]

how come i never get two gold stars? I'd settle with just one!

[Raceready]

how come i never get two gold stars? I'd settle with just one!I'd give you a 5 star rating ! !

[bullring]

Probably not. Currently racing appeals to 3 senses. Sight, sound and smell. An electric car eliminates 2 of those.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Never going to happen, so why discuss it.

[ftfiowa]

dirtcrazy4u i gotta ask: are you ever happy? why bother replying to anything on here? seems like you are depressed permanently, maybe try the hippie lettuce?

[4Barrel]

I love the sounds and smells. If the leader gets a half track lead, at least we can still hear and smell.

[Black F]

I'd give you a 5 star rating ! !

i want gold one's, like cw got!

[Black F]

hippie lettuce? on top of that crown he's sippin? lol, boy your asking for massed up responses now!

He's right, why even discuss it?

[dirtcrazy4u]

I'm not going to get into this and I'll be dust before it happens but if anyone thinks this all electric crap is going to work, do me a favor stick your head in a hole and tell everyone how beautiful it is. Smart people are making a ton of money of the people on that train.

[Jerky]

Nah, electric race cars don't do it for me. Also, apparently you all have never heard of Formula E? There's already electric race cars that are safe and capable of running 50 miles (100 laps at full speed on a half mile). The problem as with anything electric car related at this point is they cost a metric (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) ton. Went to a race, didn't do it for me without the sound and smell.

[TwistedNate01]

if it was to happen, we wont be here to see it. so no.I certainly agree with you on that one! Was a total random thought that popped in my head two weeks ago. Well yesterday i finally posted this question. See what kind of NOs and YES i would get!

[TwistedNate01]

Certainly things to factor in like you stated!

[TwistedNate01]

hippie lettuce? on top of that crown he's sippin? lol, boy your asking for massed up responses now! He's right, why even discuss it?Thats why i finally posted it yesterday. Seriously wanted to see what kind answers i would get! Figured i try to catch fellow 4mrs off guard with this one, Couple few just a simple no, couple have said yes they continue being a fan/supporter.

[Rajflyboy]

It would be nice to go to a race and be able to talk to the “Smokin ass hot babe” sitting next to you

[Black F]

lucky for her she don't have to hear it ^^ lol

[Rajflyboy]

[Black F]

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

you'll have to give me a few pointers on picking up smoking ass hot babes, fly. lol

[Raceready]

[Black F]

My interest has always been based on some level of participation. The motor/battery system required doesn't really have many components that can be built and serviced at home. That takes away a big part of the participation piece of the equation.

[Black F]

the chances of ev racing reaching popularity in drag racing (particularly motorcycle's) and asphalt racing, mybe nascar are pretty good but not dirt racing. not anytime soon.

[Raceready]

i shall wear them proudly!You wear them well ! ! Gold as fit for a " GOOD AS GOLD" guy ? ?
