Drag racing takes place at a track. It's legal, safe and fun.
Street racing is what we have here. Everyone needs to get the nomenclature right, and encourage the media to do the same.
This type of generalization give drag racers a bad name.
This article got it right! Kudos to the reporter. NC Folks know their racing!

Most people consider "drag" racing as 1/4 mile straight line style racing- whether on track or not. It's best that the legal "real" racers claim their terminology to try to educate the public, as you are doing.
Seems that the "Racers Against Street Racing" never really got moving, but when it started it seemed like a decent organization.
Next person that refers to his car as a race car and it's never been through a tech inspection is going to get bitch slapped.
