This is sad…

Things like this should not be happening and gives the industry a really bad name…

On the other hand, try and find something positive about drag racing in the media. Obviously illegal drags aren’t going te be covered, as they obviously break the law, but even the well-organized meetings get criticized. Tragic I tell you. It’s a sport. It should be teated as one.
