Although a quarter mile (1320 feet, 402 m) is the best known measure for a drag track, many tracks are eighth mile (201 m) tracks, and the premiere classes will run 1,000 foot (304.8 m) races. The race is begun from a standing start which allows three factors to affect the outcome of the race: reaction time, power/weight ratio, and traction.

Some drag strips are even shorter and run 660 feet, 201 m, or 1/8 mile.

SI, and hence the use of "km/h" (or "km h −1 " or "km·h −1 ") has now been adopted around the world in many areas related to health and safety [36] and in metrology [37] in addition to the SI unit metres per second ("m/s", "m s −1 " or "m·s −1 "). SI is also the preferred system of measure in academia and in education.
