Default does it annoy anyone else that the press always refers to this as "drag racing"?

They were street racing on a public freeway.

Drag racing is a quarter mile race between two cars in a safe controlled environment. It really annoys me how when ever someone gets in an accident racing on the street, it is referred to as drag racing.

In this case, it matters not what vehicle he was driving- stoopid move that cost him his life!
