This is the ultimate palace of speed. Except for speed, everything else seems to be a fantasy. Welcome again to the top arena of drag racing, where your adrenaline can surge through the screen!
I don’t know what kind of racing competitions you go to watch? If I give you a recommendation, you must go to see a NASCAR race and the top drag racing in the United States. The premise is that you must also be obsessed with speed.
In addition to the United States, there are also equally popular drag racing in Europe.

Even though this is Europe, there is no shortage of people playing in the United States. Cars from different categories take turns, which also shows that the European competition scene is full of energy.
