Road racing is the correct term. It is a term rooted in history.
Back in the good old days the races were actually held on roads.
Watking Glen was run on public roads. The Vanderbult Cup was run on the public roads of Bridgehampton. It is still fairly common practice in Europe, Mille millia [spelling], the Tourist trophy races in Great Britian, The Nurburing in Germany. Even stages of the WRC. The big difference is the roads are temporarily closed to the public.
What some pople get so worked up about is street racing, Illegal, and most of all incredibly stupid. Just because someone is not familiar with the definition of a term does not make them stupid, just ignorant or misinformed, either is very cureable.
We have plenty of good people here to learn from as long as we are willing to listen.
My 2 cents
Thanks.
