Can you imagine how long the race would take, plus all the cars plugging in to charge!?!
Take down a whole power grid. Lol

As y’all know, NASCAR is headquartered in New York City (Manhattan).
No one should be surprised when you get a “New York City” thought process applied to the product.

What’s next, turn the Pike’s Peak Hill climb Race to the Clouds into a high tec soapbox derby and coast from top to the bottom?
Albeit it would be far more entertaining than watching oversized slot racers going quietly round and round for fans.

I lost interest when Terry Labonte retired.

Brings back memories those old electric slot car tracks. I had a tackle box where I kept my Cheetah race car and Cox controller along with tools, spare parts, extra silicone tires and a bottle of castor oil. Not motor oil but rather the type you took for your ailments back in the old days. You could rub a little of that castor oil on those white silicone tires for more traction. After school I would head out to the slot car track back in 1963 and '64.

I had 1/32 scale Cheetah, GT 40 and a Cobra , spare tires, controllers , and would always ride my bike up to the city and run on their 8 lane track. Some of the older kids ran on the 1/24 Track

Some of those older kids were adults that would have all the best equipment with rewound motors etc. My car was geared for a short flat track with tight turns at the track in the Holston Shopping Center in East Knoxville where I spent my time.
One time I decided to go to the big track at the Western Plaza bowling lanes in West Knoxville to race. They had long straight a ways with banked sweeping turns and I got blown away and never went back. 🙄😊

I don't know about NASCAR but electric motorbikes make the most awful sound known to man.

I recall the hobby shop well. I would also buy rocket engines in there and take them to school and we would set off our single or two stage rockets at lunch. Then chase them down after lunch in the cornfields when they came down. Dad came home from GM when I was in the 6th grade and I had his mccolloch chain saw taken apart on the garage floor. He didn't say a word just looked at me and shook his head. I took it apart just to see how it worked. I did get it back together. All those experiments did eventually pay off later when I built real rocket engine and aircraft fuel systems for uncle sam.

Green house emissions aplenty.
