Drag racing
 
I don't really see what the fun in watching drag racing is. Sure, it's funny to watch grown men run down the street in high heels and a dress, but other than that, it's boring.

Drag racing is what we all really are trying to do with our cars, make them as fast as possible, say from a standing start, at traffic lights and you gun it, well that's why at the start there is a traffic light start system(now adopted by other races).its just a legal way of seeing who is fastest over a quarter of a mile. yes it is a bit boring spectator sport, but the money spent on these is amazing, not to mention their crashes, which are mainly now well survived due to good safety measure's, in short a lot safer than racing fifty round the town lol but yes i agree a bit boring to watch.

Must take some talent to crash over the space of 1/4 mile in a straight line from a standing start!!.
