Finally - the media gets it right...

Fed - I have noticed that too - every paper I have ever read will have NASCAR coverage, but never any NHRA or IHRA coverage. Unless someone dies, then they will cover it. Why is this?!

I have been watching the news reports on the Orlando crash on Channel 2 here and I was very happy to see that through several days of reporting, they did not say "drag" racing, but street racing. I emailed WESH Chanel 2 either earlier this year or last year about another such incident which they did call drag racing. While I wasn't rude, I wasn't exactly polite either. I'd like to think that it had some. I need to remember to email them again and thank them for proper reporting in this case!
