It has an unbiased start, a fixed length and a finish where a clear winner can be decieded based on who crosses the line first. If that isnt a classic "race" than what is?
Well said mate and I agree.

Of course Drag Racing is a real sport.

Fair enough you only go in a straight line, for 400 metres, but I would like to see the people who bag it and say going in a straight line requires no skill, jump into a 8000HP Top Fueler and do 0-300Km/h in less then 2 seconds and hold it, without losing control.
