oh and i almost forgot, because i can't let this comment go because it's about the dumbest one i've ever seen....ray say's that, "a drag strip is not a racetrack." well ray, last time i checked, most drag strips i've seen are located at "race parks" and there are even entire leagues for drag racing some people may of heard of the "NHRA". Oh yeah, and there is this one guy that pretty much dominates on the drag side of racing. which happens to be a Kawasaki rider his name is "Rickey Gadson." since you like wikipedia so much here ya go on some more info that might clear this up for you.

A race is a competition of speed, against an objective criterion, usually a clock. The competitors in a race try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task involving speed.
Running a distance is the most basic form of racing, but races are often conducted in vehicles, such as boats, cars and aircraft, or with animals such as horses.
A race may be run continuously from start to finish or may be made of several segments called heats or stages (stages are also known as legs). A heat is usually run over the same course at different times. A stage is a shorter section of a much longer course or a time trial.
Early records of races are evident on pottery from ancient Greece, which depicted running men vying for first place. A chariot race is described in Homer's Iliad.
