How far is half a lap on a running track?
Since 1921, the IAAF has stated that a marathon's distance is standardized at 42.195K or 26 miles and 385 yards. If you are using a standard 400M track, and running exclusively in lane 1, then you will need to complete 105.4875 laps in order to complete a marathon or essentially 105 and 1/2 laps. If you use an outer lane, then you will not need to run as many laps.

What does hot lap mean in dirt track racing?
Hot lap is a term used for a test drive. It's where they let drivers take the car on the track and see how the car and the track handle before a race. It is often only a few laps and less cars on the track at a time then during a normal race. Cars are not required to do hot laps but, it is a good idea since track conditions change all the time. By doing a test drive or "Hot Laps" before a race it allows drivers to see how the car will handle in a safer way then just making them race the car. This way they can make changes to the car before the race begins. Hot laps allows driver and crews to make the race safer and car go faster.

How many miles is in 8 laps of a track?
It is approximately 56 m longer per lap if you run in the 8th lane instead of lane 1. I think the question asks for the total distance run if you fully run all 8 lanes. If you begin in lane one, then lane 2 etc. through lane 8, this is a convenient way to keep track of how many laps you've done. If the width of the lanes is 1.27 m (50 inches), and you run around the track once in each lane you will have run 400+408.99+415.959+423.939+431.918+439.898+447.878+455.857 = 3424.439 metres. Suggestion: switch lanes at a consistant position on a straight section of track.
What is a competition lap in NASCAR?
A competition yellow is usually called about 25 laps into a Nascar race so the teams can check tire wear.
