History of civil aviation in Podgorica begins on 29 May 1928, with landing of Aeroput Potez 29/2 biplane on a grass runway located in Ćemovsko polje.This flight was a second leg of an experimental circular route, originating and terminating in Belgrade, flown via Skopje, Podgorica, Mostar Airport and Sarajevo, with the aim of exploring viability of regular air travel in southern Kingdom of ...
Rollout or rollout allowance is an adjustment in timed acceleration runs used by North-American drag racing and enthusiast magazines [citation needed] to create approximate parity over time between historic 0 to 60 mph and 1/4 mile acceleration times and those measured today using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Špiro Mugoša Airport (Montenegrin: Aerodrom Špiro Mugoša), also known as Ćemovsko Polje Airport (Montenegrin: Aerodrom Ćemovsko Polje), is a general aviation airport, located in Ćemovsko polje, on the eastern edge of Podgorica urban area.
As with land-based drag racing, competitors race their vehicles for the lowest elapsed time (low ET) over a straight race course of a defined length. There are three standard drag race course lengths, 660 feet (1/8 mile), 1,320 foot (1/4 mile), and the most common length, used in professional drag boat racing, 1,000 feet (3/16 mile plus 10 feet).
Motorcycle drag racing (also known as "sprints") involves two participants lining up at a dragstrip with a signaled starting line. Upon the starting signal, the riders accelerate down a 1 ⁄ 4 mile (0.40 km) or 1 ⁄ 8 mile (0.20 km) long, two lane, straight paved track where their elapsed time and terminal speed are recorded.
Bracket racing is a form of drag racing that allows for a handicap between predicted elapsed time of the two cars over a standard distance, typically within the three standard distances (1/8 mile, 1,000 foot, or 1/4 mile) of drag racing.
The standard distance of a drag race is 1,320 feet, 402 m, or 1/4 mile (±0.2% FIA & NHRA rules). However, due to safety concerns, certain sanctioning bodies (notably the NHRA for its Top Fuel and Funny Car classes) have shortened races to 1,000 feet. Some drag strips are even shorter and run 660 feet, 201 m, or 1/8 mile.
The European Drag Racing Season is held from May to September in four countries; UK, Sweden, Finland and Germany. [1] Each drag race category pairs two drivers that compete against each other and the winner is the racer with the lowest reaction time and elapsed time over a designated destination. [ 2 ]
