drag races
Straight-line speed contests
Drag races are competitions where vehicles accelerate from a standstill over a short, straight course—typically a quarter mile.
The format emphasizes raw acceleration rather than cornering or endurance.
Cars, motorcycles, and purpose-built dragsters compete in timed runs, often side by side: We spent Saturday watching drag races at the strip.
The verb phrase drag race means to compete in such an event or, informally, to race another vehicle on public roads.
