Drag Racing in New York

New York is known for many things- lattes, bagels, taxicabs; but drag racing doesn't seem to be one of them. Drag racing is more typically associated with the south than hustling bustling New York. However there are some that find the drive of New York perfect for some sizzling street racing action. What could be hotter than taking a few seconds to fly down a 1/8 to 1/4 mile? Speed, adrenaline, and nitromethane seem to go hand in hand in high energy environments. If you are one of brave men and women who drag race for sport or profit, and feel the need for speed this weekend, here are the places where you can find relief inside of New York.
