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!

Okay Mr. Politically correct nice try ,but your wrong. What the hell does it matter anyhow what you call it? I never heard anyone back in my day say hey let go out to the double bridges and street race. We all called it drag racing because that's what it is when two cars line up side by side and race to a fixed point in a straight line to see who gets there first. The definition doesn't change just because it happens on the street. Oh and by the way, dracing was born out of the street. Not the other way around.
