Don Garlit's 1:1 scale electric dragster...
Thought this was pretty cool, ran 7.258 at 184.01 the other day.

Sounds like a giant R/C
This has inspired me to get my 1:10 dragster out this weekend for some fun!

Back at again because of a phone call..."Hey, how do you adjust those old Novaks?"

Something is lost. I would stop going to the drags if I no longer got to experience the noise and flames of top alcohol and nitro dragsters.

Awesome! Don is the man, he's been such an innovator, glad to see him still thinking. Like it or don't, it's probably the future.

Electric drag cars have been around for a long time and are neat, but I hope they stay a niche/exhibition thing like jet cars for example.

Not if you're the driver. Garlit didn't sacrifice most of his hearing just because he gets a thrill from loud noises.badhoopty wrote:x2. basically ALL the fun of the drag races and especially top fuel is the sound.Lowgear wrote:Electric drag cars have been around for a long time and are neat, but I hope they stay a niche/exhibition thing like jet cars for example.
