Impressive performance, no doubt…however it’s boring as hell to watch. I’m sure the day will come, but I just can’t imagine ‘motorsports’ without the glorious sounds of the gas engine, in all it’s forms. ---

“NEDRA NEWS - Baytown, TX (March 15, 2014) Breaking the 8’s has been a goal electric drag racers with street based electric cars also known as “door slammers” have been attempting to achieve for quite awhile. John Metric finally did it with his electric Miata, _Assault and Battery_ Friday night at Royal Purple raceway with a 1/4 mile time of 8.913 seconds at 147.99 mph. It’s also the first doorslammer to break 125 mph in the 1/8 mile!” ---
