What is "drag racing"?
Drag racing is a type of motorsport where two vehicles race over a short, straight track to see who can reach the finish line first. The race typically takes place on a 1/4-mile or 1/8-mile strip, and the focus is on speed and acceleration. Vehicles used in drag racing are specially built for maximum performance, with powerful engines and lightweight designs. The race starts with a green light, and the competitors accelerate from a standing start, often reaching high speeds in just a few seconds. The event is over quickly, making drag racing thrilling and intense, and it can involve various types of vehicles, from street cars to purpose-built dragsters.
