Here's the deal though. Every time a street racing accident occurs, it gets media attention. That attention not only reflects poorly on us as drag race enthusiasts, but on our hobby AND aftermarket as a whole.
Our hobby is under constant attack from leaders and legislators (or insurance companies!) who think what we do presents a threat either to the safety of the public or to the environment. By supporting illegal street racing or by turning a blind eye to it we only serve to make their case.
