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!

you can drag race on a street, illegally. you can also race on a street with turns, like on the freeway. So people say drag race so people know what kind of racing they were doing. if you just say street racing, you don't know if it was a straight line or otherwise. Not that it really matters, any racing on public streets is wrong and illegal. But "drag racing" doesn't mean it is done on a track.
