Bottom line.....it is illegal racing on the street and shouldn't be confused with the legal activity we participate it. We have enough issues and identity crisis, mainly with spectators relating to sportsman handicap racing. We don't need ANY negative associations. Nascar has done a lot to get away from their "moonshine" roots. But it has gotten too "politically correct". As mentioned earlier, the media doesn't call it "stock car racing", "road course racing" or whatever style of driving is being illegally displayed. It's illegal, it's on the street - it should be accurately identified as "illegal street racing", so the average fan/spectator who often doesn't know squat about the mechanics and finesse of real racing knows the difference and doesn't carry around the subconsious negative notion of "drag racing" after hearing a news report of a "drag racer" plowing through a crown of spectators on the side of the road or splattering himself and a passenger against a concrete pole.
