Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham & WB Hutto

Coupled with the fact our race will probably be the last at Orlando

I have wrote and called the local papers and tv stations in the Houston area about the difference of drag racing and illegal street racing. Guess they got the message.

The problem is most of the media thinks any speed contest on the street is Drag Racing.
4 or 5 ricers decide to race on an interstate and weave through traffic at high speeds. It's more like road racing. But they call it drag racing.
