Shows that the person behind the wheel is a real driver and not just there for the ride!

there is a big difference betweena 4-5 second drag car and a 10+ second street car that most "drag racers" like to brag about

Every form of competitive motorsports requires a skillset to win, or excel at. It bothers me when people say that drag racers aren't good drivers. They are good drivers within the skillset that it takes win in their venues, as much as the winners on roadcourses, ovals or dirt tracks are.
