Memo to the Science Guy: NASCAR fans like the noise, the crashes, and the fires. And if the driver(s) survive, they’re OK with that.
Admittedly these cars would open the possibility of getting to see rescue crews electrocuted trying to pull drivers from wrecked cars that weren’t properly grounded before being pulled apart with the Jaws of Life.
The explosions from overheated batteries will offer the crowds mayhem.
Nye is onto something here. Instead of just electric cars they should be artificially intelligent racers. AI racers would be interesting for all the wrecks.
