Drag Racing/Street Racing

[Myron Piatek]

I was sitting here web surfing and "listening" to Jeopardy on TV and was shocked, but in a good way, at one of the questions. While I don't remember the exact wording, but it went roughly something like this:


Sanctioned competition between two cars with a variety of rules and safety regs is called drag racing. Two cars racing on public roads is usually called? Answer: "Street Racing".


I don't recall what category it was under or if the word "illegal" was used..


Three cheers for the producers of Jeopardy!

Tom Compton: " Drag racing, Alex."

Alex: "No, I'm sorry."

Buzz, buzz !!!

Alex: "Peter Clifford, your answer."

Peter Clifford: "Drag Racing".

Alex: "No, sorry Peter, that's the same answer Tom gave."

Buzz, buzz !!

Alex: " What say you Donald."

Donald Trump: "Illegal Street Racing."

Alex: " Correct, you are the Jeopardy champion !!! "

That would explain them making a point that there are extensive safety regulations involved in drag racing. Thanks.
