Illegal Street /drag racing TV reporting

We just had a similar incident up here last night in Ashland Mass, where Channel 5 of Boston reported the tragedy of a teenager dying as a result of Drag Racing. I wrote Channel 5 AGAIN in explaining the difference between the two and the negative publicity they give our sport of Drag racing when they categorize us with Illegal Street Racing. I’m hoping someday they will wise up and realize all they’re doing is hindering any efforts local tracks are doing in trying to get sponsorship to fund programs to get these kids off the street.
