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.
