This felt like the longest video I’ve ever watched…

[thomasswain]

Literally 95% of what’s fun about drag racing is absent from this video

Don’t matter how fast electric cars are, it’s not the same without the rumble.

[Zphile]

When the drone is louder than the racecar.

"hey yeah you know that first 20 seconds?"
"Leave it."
"..."

[Yahooligan]

You know they are ruining it when the drone is louder.

[jetink]

Wow so smooth and quiet it almost made the sense of danger disappear. Wish i coulda seen the burnout

[newmexicocannasprouts]

That was the most underwhelming 7.5 at 200+ I've ever seen

[slimjimtheman]

After this anti climax I searched for the 10, 000hp dragster... Instant satisfaction....

There's 60 seconds I'll never get back

I'd rather see a hydrogen powered rocket go down the strip, not something that sounds like something between a mobility scooter and a wet fart.

[loopis]

That was one of the most anti-climatic things I’ve ever seen.

While waiting for the launch, I had a son, watched him grow, put him thru college, and at his wedding reception we finally got to finish this clip.

The drag race is now a calm afternoon in summer

This takes it from from “hell yeah, brother, ” to “I guess so, man.”

[jerryfroggo]

Congrats to the people who graduated high school, graduated from college and got married and had kids waiting for the car to launch

[senatorjosephmccarthy]

In case you're wondering, he didn't get to run. He died of old age waiting for the lights to go down.

If fossil fuel isn’t involved it’s not racing.

[Yani-AP]

Fastest 1/4 mile of all time is 3.22 seconds @402 mph. Combustion is king forever

[americanangler]

Where's the smoke and flames, the burn out, the engine noise, the roar of the crowd. This is not the future of drag racing.
