An attempt to stir up controvercy
 

Sunday an Audi V6 diesel hybrid won LeMans , is there a Chevy Volt or a Tesla roadster coming to Stock Elim ? Just wondering and trying to get some nonpol;itical controvercy stirred up .

Heard the electric cars cannot run on a "short" track.

Good one ! Also saw Clarkson run a Tesla out of charge on the Test Track . Performance was impressive , but rane came no where near advertised .

I think they'd run well in bad air.

And saw an episode of Amer Chopper a while back where they built an electric drag bike , but don't remember how quick it ran .

To date: The Lawless Electric Rocket bike piloted by Larry "Spiderman" McBride made history May 4, 2012 with a National Electric Drag Racing Association (NEDRA) DMC/A3 record run of 6.940 at 201.37 mph making it the first electric vehicle to break 200 mph in the quarter mile! The 355 volt Rocket bike was built by Lawless Industries and Orange County Choppers.

I can see one of the manufacturers wanting a hybrid or electric competing and wonder how it would be recieved and if it could go rounds and not lose charge too quickly .

It won't happen unless FORD wants to do it, then the NHRA will bend..... the rules, or something like that.

That's what I see , one of the makers wanting to "green-up" their image , and buys "The Official Car of NASCAR/NHRA" designation .
