Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
I didn't even know he was a drag racer. I don't recall seeing this clown at the track. Another idiot helping give our sport a bad name and the mainstream media's pounces on the opportunity.

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
Again the MEDIA uses whatever term to make the headline....Kind of like BLIZZARD. Unfortunately it brings the viewers. Look at the NFL rant that has gained the guy national coverage for being obnoxious. It is the News. Forget the Debt, Jobless numbers, Insurance being dumped...(Probably willl get moved to Lounge)

Too bad CNN considers him newsworthy.

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
This time it sounds like the media got it right.
Seems like they had the street blocked off, and both cars lift from a stop. That's drag racing.

Re: Justin Bieber busted for DUI & Drag Racing
Like all of us true drag racers, I took exception to the story being identified with our sport. A couple years ago, I called a local TV station regarding the exact same miss leading information they gave, about a fatal crash on the highway during a "drag race". The exchange was some what heated, as the newsman didn't like being corrected. I finally convinced him it was a STREET RACE not a drag race, and had nothing to do with our sport. They haven't made the same mistake since. just my two cents!
