Street Racing:
In street racing, two cars race a circuit of city streets. The first car to cross the finish line is the winner. Street racing is a form of auto racing which takes place on public roads. Street racing can either be spontaneous or well planned and coordinated.

Spontaneous races usually occur at intersections where two cars stop at a red light before they begin racing. Well coordinated races, in comparison, are chosen before the race night and often have a staff with walkie-talkies that organize races (see participants, below). Street racing is reported to originate prior to the 1950s in some parts of the United States. Opponents to street racing cite a lack of safety relative to sanctioned racing events, as well as legal repercussions arising from incidents, among street racing's drawbacks.

Bullet Points:
1. A dig may refer to all participants toeing a line, aligning the front bumper of the vehicles, after which all vehicles race from a stop to a pre-arranged point (typically a quarter mile in the United States, but may vary by locale).
2. A roll generally refers to a race which starts at a non-zero speed, and continues until all but one participant have stopped racing. This may be accompanied by three honks which would be analogous to a countdown.
