Drag racing - Wikipedia
Drag racing is a sport in which vehicles compete to see which can travel a specific distance the fastest from a standing start. To achieve high acceleration, drag racers have large tires, and the tires often "burn rubber" by friction with the pavement before the start, in order to heat and soften the tread surface of the tires.
