Quarter Mile
The "Quarter Mile" refers to a common drag racing distance of 1,320 feet, or approximately 402 meters. This distance is often used in motorsport events to measure the acceleration and speed of vehicles. Racers compete to see who can cover this distance in the shortest time, showcasing their car's performance and engineering.
In addition to traditional gasoline-powered cars, the quarter mile is also popular among electric vehicles and motorcycles. Events are held at dedicated drag strips, where safety measures are in place to ensure a fair and controlled racing environment.
