…is stupid. Do a Google News search for ‘drag racing’ and over half the results displayed are from news channels and newspapers reporting another death due to reckless street racing. It hits home when it happens right in your own town and you know the street where the accident occured. It’s even more amazing to learn the idiots were in a residential area speeding through crosswalks.
Seriously, if you are one who is easily tempted by the idiot in the lane next to you reving his motor, read some of the stories below very carefully. You are giving drag racing a bad name. Find a track to race legally, even if it is hours away. Besides, no one really cares who or what you beat on the street, it is ET’s that count.
