 | dB (as in decibel) drag racing is an obscure but growing international "sport" in which competitors go head-to-head for two or three seconds at a time -- hence the name drag racing -- to establish whose sound system is loudest. |
| At the end of each major meet, the four loudest competitors line up for the "deathmatch," a five-minute, winner-take-all face-off in which they fire sound salvos at one another as judiciously yet loudly as possible, trying to keep their speakers and power sources alive until time is up. |
| Many of the cars that performed at a dB drag racing event I attended in Toronto were sad-looking beaters, some with zoomy but faded paint jobs advertising their sponsors or owner's car-audio shop. |
