MEC Carlisle said vehicles need to be impounded if caught drag racing illegally. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Sipheshile Dube said MEC Carlisle is very pleased that this operation will continue as drag racing has been a threat to safety for many years now..

Dube added that as a department they will continue to try and clamp down on this very dangerous practice.
