These guys can't stop laughing while drag racing an EV 1970 VW Beetle vs a modern 911 GT3 RS

But the sport is all about putting on a spectacle, and the noise and flames shooting out of the engines are a big part of the show, right? I think EV racing may gain in popularity faster if the promoters can find a way to create similar types of spectacle. So add some gratuitous Jacob’s ladders or Tesla Coils on the back or something? I’m not sure that pure speed and acceleration alone will make it a popular sport.
