Sure will be. There's plenty of stuff out on the internet about EV dragsters to keep one busy for some time.
As you read from the linked article, these new generation batteries appear to be in late stages of manufacturer testing prior to general availability. They aren't the final objective but do represent a big leap forward.
I know. Electric motors provide top notch low end torque, provided the wiring and controllers can provide maximum inrush current. And a good electric motor whine is not unpleasing to the ears...still V8s spinning up 8Gs are REALLY SWEET.
I can't imagine anything ever being able to replace the sound or feel of a large internal combustion engine. For that reason, I doubt large crowds will ever gather to watch the EV equivalent of a top fuel, NASCAR, Indy race or even a truck/tractor pull.
