The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Where did this saying come from. Drag races. Were they called drag races because they would happen on the main drag of a town from stop light to stop light

Where did this saying come from. Drag races. Were they called drag races because they would happen on the main drag of a town from stop light to stop light back in the early days. So a Drag Race was a race on the main drag (road) in a town? Jalaponick has an article about it and I think their answer is lame.
