Where does it say "regular and regulated motorsports?"GT

What is said below by GT is not controversial - it is nonsense and does not belong on a page about regular and regulated motorsports. --Matthead 23:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

This may be controversial. Nothing here is implied to suggest breaking any laws or operating a motor vehicle in an unsafe manner. Nonetheless these activities take place every day, wherever there are drivers and roads.

Street Road Racing, where not prohibited, involves three simple rules. The role of leader and pursuer may change many times during contention, but there can be only one winner.

• 1. The Winner is in front at the finish.
• 2. The Leader chooses the course.
• 3. The finish is when the Stalker quits.

Unorganized, unregulated, low speed contests between strangers, are probably the most common of all motor sports confrontations. From the first cross continental races, to the last person you prevented from passing. Your use of a motor vehicle in an attempt to out-gain, out-distance, prevent another vehicle from passing or to arrive someplace first, constitutes a Street Race. Victory in all of these cases is covered by these essential rules.GT
