Here’s one for ya. During the holidays one of my wife’s employees was at our house (a mid-twenties woman). During conversation it came up that we are drag racers to which she responded, “Isn’t that illegal?” I took her out to see the car and she quickly realized that there is little in common between real drag racing and the kids with the Hondas wreaking havoc on the freeways. So yes, it’s an uphill battle to change public perception, but it’s been that way for drag racing since day one. I still believe it’s worth it to continue trying though.
As far as Bieber goes (or to quote Ozzy, “What the f**k’s a Bieber?”), that little twit would scream like a little girl and pee his pants in a real race car. Bieber “drag racing?” NOT!
