Drag racing is raw power! Watching the big boys in NHRA blast down the track is awe-inspiring when the car hammers down the track.

Yes it is.. But it could also defined as an acceleration contest from a standing start between two vehicles side by side over a measured distance.

It has also been defined as "a race between two or more automobiles starting from a standstill, the winner being the car that can accelerate the fastest."

or if you prefer the long winded version...

Form of motor racing in which two contestants race side by side from a standing start over a straight quarter-mile strip of pavement. Winners go on to compete against others in their class until only one is left undefeated. There are three main classes of vehicle: (1) the Top Fuel Eliminator (called a "rail" or "slingshot"), a lightweight, long-chassied vehicle with wide rear tires that is fueled by a special mixture, such as methanol and nitromethane; (2) the "funny car," a high-performance copy of a late-model production car that uses special fuel; and (3) the standard production car, a modified version of a gasoline-powered production car. The Top Fuel class is the fastest, followed by the funny car. Drag racing is most popular in the U.S.

Thank you for your attention to detail!
