My Research Paper Thesis: Drag racing is a fun hobby for many to just have a blast and to get rid of stress. the history of drag racing, along with the different types of drag racing such as professional, bracket, and street racing. Also the safety of drag racingis very important. Facts: Bracket racing allows almost anyone to race, on a fairly even playing field. Reaction times are a huge part of winning (or losing!) races. They are also perhaps the most difficult part of drag racing, although it seems deceptively simple.
