Last weekend there was a 20 something year old dude (I think it was a dude anyway) racing in the trophy class with a Tesla at our 1/8 mile track. It was running 7.50s, which isn’t bad, but not exactly quick (would be in the very high 11s in the 1/4 mile). It lost first round to a NOS injected Fox body running in the upper 5s. It was the most cheering I heard all night. I’d say Tesla has their work cut out for them to convince the rest of the automotive world that an EV car is always cool and belongs in the same category as all IC vehicles. Watching the Tesla race in the trophy class felt like it was a man dress as a woman competing with other women, or vice versa. Seemed off. I am not a fox body fan at all, but I was rooting for that fox body.
