    This is the kind of BS that p1sses me off, and it should you too! Can you imagine going to the electric Late Model races? Me neither. It's coming.

    If it came to that, why would it matter? If the electric cars go as fast as the gas powered cars then who gives a crap?

    Understand that it will not be to far into the future that our sport becomes 'socially unacceptable'....We continue to let the standards for all be dictated by the minority, only question is 'how long?'. The next nail will be 'self driving automobiles', at that point the connection to racing a car will make no sense. 100 years ago they raced horses at every county fairgrounds....

    It already is socially unacceptable to slacktivists who whine about pollution on their iPhones without the slightest bit of self awareness.

    This idea that widespread electric cars are coming by 2030 or whatever is extremely naive. The infrastructure to support widespread electric car usage simply does not exist and will take decades to get there.

    This kind of fear mongering has been going on for years. Car racing won't go away, ever.

    Just keep voting liberals into office and we will all get what we deserve. Liberals are an enemy of auto racing and always have been. Yet some race fans insist on voting them into office.

    I’d imagine it’s probably pretty easily done with a laptop

    Vote every last one out of office. We the people have that power. But instead we moan on a racing board. You keep voting for that guy that's been in office for years. Smack term limits on everyone of these clowns

    Wait till one of these battery powered pcs of crap catches fire and the occupants can't get out. The American public doesn't want this garbage yet it's being driven down our throats.

    The prius' distant cousin doesn't have an issue winning.

    I'm going to hate when the v8 is "phased out" so to say. They can make electric motors that make the same power as the gas, they just won't have the sound. This doesn't mean I'm on board with the clean air act, I hope it never happens.
