i honestly see drag racing as a wussy part of racin that has been around since the 50's with hot rods. if you look else where in the world like japan. they would have down hill mountain battles. where two heavily modifed cars would race down a two way single lane road while drifting down a mountain at night. its verrrry dangerious. they also made a anime series called initial D out of this. most people when they see the anime, they find it hard to beleive that people do this is real life becusae of hte skill involved. but me i've saw real videos of two cars racing down a hill. it was a RX-7 FC vs. a white R33 skyline GT-R. its prettty insane to see them two parallel drifting side by side down a narrow ass road and if you crash, you either hit the side of the mountain, or fall off the moutain~!and when drift close enough together, you can even see the tire smoke going on the car. its pretty insane. another form of racing would be autocrossing. thats when you take your car to a circuit. thats what most people thats not from the usa do in this forums. but trust me the stuff from the fast and the furious is wussy stuff compared to the real the stuff you in else where int he world. also in japan they have these tv shows about street racers. mostly high battlers. where you see them in there 700hp skylines burning cops and racin other cars, while doin 170mph. they also would close down the highway one day of the year, for racers to come and duke it out on the highway. they also have shows on drifting contest. where you see people just drifting a set of corners. if you win, then you win recongnizition. if you lose or crash, you total your car on public tv. sooo half of the time, you see car's with no bumper left still drifting away to win. its pretty cool.
