Drag Racing Turns Fatal- A Case Report

Abstract

Drag racing is a type of motor racing in which automobiles or motorcycles (usually specially prepared for the purpose) compete, usually two at a time, to be first to cross a set finish line. Drag racing has existed in both street racing and regulated motorsport forms since automobiles and motorcycles were developed. Few youth in Bangalore resort to street racing form at nights in peripheral ring road, which is illegal. Here, we are presenting a case of a 19yr old boy, who died at a drag race finishing line. The present case emphasizes the need for regulating drag racing in India and to form strict guidelines for the same.
