    Isn't street racing illegal?

    There's no permanent drag racing tracks here. I don't know of any FIA / MI approved motor club that runs car drag races. There are some proper bike Drag races. The West Cork Motorcycle Club organises one drag event a year

    There's BISHOPS COURT AND ABBEYSHRULE AERODROME drag strips for organised drag races.

    Is Tullow still going?

    That would be as close as you could get to illegal.

    Too much Fast and Furious OP and even they've gotten away from the street racing aspect (great films though) :)

    Yeah looks like it is not running anymore.

    Shamefully I used to enjoy a bit of drag racing back in my youth!

    Op try bishopscourt they have proper timing gear with slips for proof and safe run off areas so you won't wreck your car

    Street racing is illegal and dangerous.

    And no there's none of it going on anymore that you'd wanna be near. A few clowns in micras out at ballymount is about the height of it
