Drag racing is a high-speed motorsport where vehicles compete in straight-line races, typically spanning a quarter-mile. Known for its intense acceleration and thrilling speed, it has become a staple of American car culture. The competition involves specialized vehicles, including top fuel dragsters and funny cars, which can reach speeds over 330 mph. It combines engineering precision with adrenaline-pumping excitement, with drivers facing G-forces that test their limits. Popular events like the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) drag racing series attract massive crowds and showcase both innovation and sheer power.
