 KLMP’s Drag Battle promises an exciting competition on whose vehicle has got the best sprint in the field.
Drag racing is an acceleration contest from a standing start between two vehicles over a measured distance.
The standard for that distance is either a quarter-mile (400 meters) or an eighth-mile (200 meters). A drag racing event is a series of such two-vehicle, tournament-style Eliminations. The losing driver in each race is eliminated, and the winning driver progresses until one driver remains.
Vehicles are classified into different classes by various criteria that take into account the extent of modifications to the car.
The Drag Battle Championship will use proven drag lights and timing equipment for accurate race results. Points will be given based on the results and accumulated points for final standings in the championship.
The championship will be held at KL MotoPark with six rounds of championship throughout the year. The top three in the championship standings in car and bike category will be eligible for sponsorship from participating companies in KL MotoPark’s sponsorship programme.
The current local drag racing championship attracts some 100-200 competitors on a regular basis. During practice sessions, the number would increase to more than 300 dragsters.
With the introduction of the Drag Battle Championship, this number would increase to approx 400 competitors in both categories (from Malaysia, Singapore & Thailand).
