Ford going F1 and Lemans you can forget about DragRacing.

Ford is clearly going electric and I assume when they mentioned NHRA in the press release , the reference is to the E Mustang drag racing cars that are under construction to compete in NHRA's new electric class.
As a ICE motor head, the more new cars that are Drag Racing and young people getting into racing, the better we all are going forward.

Nothing better than silent cars going down the drag strip. Electric cars will be great for the hearing impaired and now you will be able to build a drag strip next to a hospital, church or a cemetery. This will spell the end to drag racing.

I disagree, yes there's no combustion noise from Pistons firing, but the Electric Mustangs are using a electric motor to drive a liberty 5 speed and a 9" Ford rear end. They will do burn outs, launch with wheel up in the air, but sadly no ICE sounds turns 9,000 RPM we all love..
If the electric class grows and helps tracks stay open, we should all be positive toward their efforts to support Drag Racing.
