So far this is the only post related to "drag racing" on this whole thread.
Anybody that thinks they are drag racing from stop light to stop light is sadly misinformed. That is simple street racing and not even the type that requires any skill whatsoever.

This is Drag Racing:

Was hoping somebody would go that route! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.

It's funny because people try to drag me all the time. There's a stop light near where I live that merges into 1 lane not long after. I can't count the number of times people have challenged me there. Just yesterday a brand new Mustang tried it and I actually beat them. Pretty sure it was a V6 or they must have really sucked at driving. Either way, it was pretty funny because I could really care less. I just think it's funny to watch Mustang owners throw hissy fits when they get owned by a 4 banger. lol

Targa Top/Panorama Roof or don't change colors. it's just tacky at best if it's not designed with the car.

Just cause its not on a track doesn't mean it not drag racing.

I was picking my sis from school when this young dude in teggy pulled next to me and smiled, gave me a thumb up, then revved like 6xs. As i was pulling away, i stalled over and then over revved at the integra by accident. He took off, lights popped behind me, and he got ticket. On way back, i gave dude a ride and threw my sis in back seat. We were both laughing at him getting a ticket+court date and car taken away by tow truck.

Taking off from a light is not drag racing (unless of course you have agreed on an end point and the winner is who gets there first)

Definition:
Drag Racing is a type of motor racing in which automobiles or motorcycles (usually specially prepared for the purpose) compete, usually two at a time, to be first to cross a set finish line.

Certainly you can drag race off track but unless you have that all important designated finish line it is just seeing who can accelerate the fastest and not a race of any type.
