It's for the timeslip at the end! Drag racing is cool when you're making 16-13 sec passes in the 1/4, but by the time you drop down to the 11's or 10's, you're talking about some serious speed!

It's kinda like an amusement park ride - why do people line up for hours just to take a ride that sometimes lasts for less than 10 seconds? It's all about the rush it gives you!

P.S. Personally, I like to go drag racing to spend some time alone. There's also a certain satisfaction I get whenever I run a new personal best. Something about concentrating at the line, cutting a good light and racing your opponent until the end.
