@user-rr5ce1wb2j 6 ай бұрын
As RacersUnited said, 1000 feet. It used to be a quarter mile but they reduced it for safety after some bad accidents - not enough room to stop safely if they go the full quarter. They used to run mid 4's in the quarter, pretty damn quick.

Guess it depends what team they’re on, and what job they have in the pits (clutch man, headers, block, etc.). It may look like they don’t have ear protection, but I’ve stood at the starting line and I promise they all do😂
