Editing Dragstrip (section)

==Quarter mile times==
Acceleration times differ even between identical vehicles due to widely varying factors - vehicle tune, elevation, driver/rider differences, payload, track surface conditions, weather conditions.

''NOTE: Nitro Funny Car records set at {{convert|1000|ft|m|abbr=on}}, which since 2008 in the US by [[National Hot Rod Association|NHRA]], 2012 internationally by [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]], and 2017 in Australia by [[International Hot Rod Association|IHRA]] is the official distance for both Top Fuel and Funny Car in the respective sanctioning bodies.''

''All official records must be backed up within one percent during the same race meet in order to be claimed.  The official records for terminal velocity and elapsed time are different in the professional car categories, and only the elapsed time run (and respective speed of that run) is listed.  There have been some cases where a car has run faster than the official record, but because they were not backed up within one percent during the same meet, they are not recognised by the NHRA, IHRA, or FIA.  The Top Fuel record listed as the final quarter-mile record in IHRA prior to off-season rule change at the end of 2016–17 season that shortened Top Fuel to 1,000 feet.''
