Can't you just run an amr300 or 500 blower? It's less than half the price of that VW one.

You can build an electric bike for about the same cost (if not cheaper) that will behave like a kitten when you want it to. Cruise around the block or the pits silent as can be. But can also make more HP and more torque with an instant torque curve. Also doesn't need near the maintenance. No choking alky fumes, no diluted oil or clogged carbs. no fluids of any kind spilling and almost no noise.
It does suck initially to pay for and/or build the battery. And having multiple packs and constant charging between rounds can get old quick. Though I don't race professionally and just do it for fun.
My E-bikes slowly lose power after each run as the voltage drops. But I can get in a solid 10 330' pulls and cruise the pits all night on one charge with battery to spare. So not horrible. Bike pulls over 40KW of power fully charged. That's 53.6hp and ridiculous amounts of instant TQ. Talking like 80-90 ft lbs.

For small frame race toys, electricity is the replacement for displacement. IMHO that is...
