Cathy Owens+FollowNot trying to be a buzzkill, but… how sustainable is all this?I went to Maple Grove with my boyfriend (he’s obsessed). And yeah, seeing nitro cars launch is unreal. But by the 3rd pair, I was wondering how many gallons of fuel each pass burns — and what that does to the air. Is there any serious talk of alternative fuels, or do we all just agree to enjoy it while we can? #NHRA #DragRacing #Nitro #Environment #HardQuestions12863Share
Erin Roberts+FollowEPA cracks down hard, what does NHRA do? Electric dragsters? Meh.Everyone laughs about it now, but if the EPA gets serious on nitro emissions, where does this sport even go? Top Fuel is fundamentally not green. Not by a long shot. I’ve seen a couple EV dragsters do 7-second passes — cool tech demo, but zero theater. If the day comes we have to pick between 330 MPH silence vs dirty, noisy combustion, I’m voting smoke every damn time. Sorry, trees. #NHRA #DragRacing #Regulations #EVvsICE #Nitro 15571Share
