Drag racing is a famous motor racing sport which is usually performed by professional automobile or motorcycle drivers. The race is performed on an artificially built straight racing track, followed by a short racing distance of minimum 1000 ft. (305 m) to 1320 ft. (402 m). 

The sport is believed to be originated in the United States where two participants participated in the head-on-head racing competition from the starting side of the flat drag strip to the finishing line. Meanwhile, the speed of the racers to cover the track was also recorded to determine the winner.
