1. Dead-stop drag: Where a solo car, or two competing cars, line up on a track at a common point side-by side (
traffic light or starting gate). At
the signal the vehicle(s) take off and race in a /usually/ straight line to get the best
lap time.
2. Rolling-start drag: When one or more vehicle(s) approaches another already driving, and initiates a drag race- usually by 'revving' their engines or flashing their headlights, and drag race to get the most distance between the opponent(s)- usually the race ends around 3 or 4 car lengths. This type of race is usually interrupted by 5-0 or traffic.
