One of the most thrilling and intense forms of motorsports is drag racing. The sport consists of two people driving their vehicles down a straight-line quarter-mile or eighth-mile two-lane track attempting to reach the finish line first. Drag racing has unlimited fascinating aspects. The on-track action can be spectacular, the work in the pits engaging, the vehicle detail magnificent, and the people intriguing.
