We put more shear forces between our tires and the road from dead stop accelerations. When was the last time you peeled out and sent rocks flying at 60MPH? So we "rip up" the roads more at low speeds than high.

I'm all about 0 to 60. I rip up the roads within the legal confines, before I ever have a chance to break a law.

I guess I could get pulled over for reckless driving. And if someone next to me wanted to test their car against mine, we could both be gotten for drag racing.

Are there moving voilations specifically targeted at WOT take offs? If so, I break the law in my minivan every time I drive it. Zero to sixty in a little over 30 seconds at WOT!

Are two cars necessary for them to call it a drag race? Lot's of people compete against time. If two cars are necessary, sounds like a loophole to me.
