Drag Racing/Street Racing
 

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!
