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....................

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.

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]

[Raceready]
