The comments of amused online users continued on the particular subreddit as some Redditors noticed the mistake.
“Eto pala [‘yun] hahaha,” a Redditor wrote.
“Sikat ka na sa r/DragRacePhilippines, hahahaha,” another Reddit user commented.
Being in the right forum, there were some who seriously answered the question of user/___Lynch___/.
“Pwede, sir. Kasi ‘yung 7.8 cam at ‘yung 30mm carburator, mas maganda ang fuel-air mixture, mas lalakas ang torque at power. Pero dapat ‘yung magling mag-tune ang gagawa ng mod para walang issue,” a Redditor wrote.
“Yes, kaya [naman] since compensated ng mod ‘yung motor, magtatalo lang ‘yan sa rider,” another Pinoy said.
“Get a GSXR 150 na lang, haha. Fight [fire] with fire, both are Suzuki,” a different user wrote.
“Drag race” refers to a race between two vehicles to see which can accelerate faster.
In contemporary times, however, it has also come to refer to a reality contest among drag performers.
The phrase is usually associated to “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which looks for “America’s next drag superstar.”
There is also a reality show series called “Drag Race Philippines,” an international adaptation of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
It was said that the title of the American show is a play on drag queen and car drag racing. The title sequence and song “Drag Race” both have drag racing themes.
