Burnout: Player's Choice Edition is still one of the best out there. For PC, from Bethesda Softworks.

After sixty years drag racing is STILL misunderstood by the great unwashed masses.
I tried to start a car club at my sons high school. I got a lecture about 'liability issues' and then was bluntly told that "we don't need our students involved with" and this is a direct quote "that sort of element".

Too bad you couldn't have yanked your son out of that school and told them that that you would rather he get an education at a facility with open minded and forward thinking faculty instead of ignorants from the dark ages!

At least I've seen the news media getting it correct more often and several online and on TV have actually changed their wording from "drag" racing to "street" racing while it was still newsworthy and after an uproar from the racing communities. (I think CNN was one.)
