Best Answer

There are two types of drag racing. First off there is what is called a pro start, or pro tree. Those classes are run heads up, start out even, and barring a red light, starting too soon, or before the green light comes on, the first to the finish line wins. The other type is called bracket racing. You make a couple of passes to see what your car runs, et wise. Then, you put a time on the windshield. It is a time that is close to what you run. Not too much faster, because that time determines how much of a headstart either car gets. But, not too slow, because if you go faster than that time, you break out, and are disqualified. Consistency is the key to bracket racing.

The winner is the first car to break the timing light at the end of the run, providing there hasn't been any "disqualifying" action. And crossing the end beam with your front wheels in the air means you DIDN'T break the light.
