Never heard of this electric drag racing stuff.
Obviously very popular.... check the crowd in the bike race start line shot.

An electric motor has tonnes more torque than an internal combustion engine.
With a motor at all four wheels awesome performance can be had.
I saw a drag race with a modified GM EV1 against a 'king of the hill' Corvette
and a CHAMP car. 'Vette got off the line first, then over taken by CHAMP car,
then EV1 over took them both. It was modifed, but showed the potential.
The US has pretty much recinded its laws on electric vehicles which is a pity
as the technology just gets shelved for a few more years...
I have often dreamed about an electric car, with speakers out the back
playing whatever 'donk' I wished through a laptop!!! F1 today, 454 straight
exhaust tomorrow... would be fun.
