I saw the orange vette on alton darby creek rd. this morning. He had the chute on and everything. Seems pretty legit to me.
I define a street car as anything that has coolant in the block and an alternator. Anything else like tags, lights, etc shouldn't matter, b/c if you're racing on the street you are already violating the law. And if you're commuting in a drag car just to say you can do it, I think that is cool, but it shouldn't give you excuses if you lose to a car w/ no tags, lights, etc.
