Street racing has been around as long as cars have been, its not going away anytime soon. The media just hypes it up in large part to a fictional movie based on half ass scenarios. If you kill yourself street racing then thats your fault, you kill someone else street racing, again its your fault. You wanna play you gotta know the consequences and accept the results
As for building FWD drag cars, who cares if its FWD, RWD or even AWD...hell if it was up to me all cars would be AWD for drag racing. Nothing says traction like 4 wheels gripping and moving all at once. The way I look at it is, its your car..build it for your own use and purposes and build it to your liking. Who cares what other people think, theres usually a hidden agenda behind comments degrading peoples cars "hate".
