Motorcycle Drag Racing

Motorcycle Drag Racing (also known as "Sprints") is where two participants line up at a dragstrip with a signaled starting line. Upon the starting signal, the riders accelerate down a 1/4 mile long, two lane, straight paved track where their elapsed time and terminal speed are recorded. The rider to reach the finish line first is the winner.

Motorcycle drag racing is most popular in the USA although there are organised events throughout the world where drag strips exist.
