To tune the CM Biturbo for winter track drag racing, focus on adjusting the tire pressure to enhance grip on cold surfaces, typically lowering it for better traction. Fine-tune the fuel map to ensure optimal power delivery in lower temperatures, and consider modifying the boost levels to maintain performance without risking loss of traction. Additionally, adjust the suspension settings for improved weight transfer during launches, which is critical for maximizing acceleration on slippery surfaces.

Yes, there have been instances of ties in the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) drag racing. However, due to the nature of the sport, ties are typically resolved by analyzing the reaction times and elapsed times of the drivers. If both drivers record identical times, the one with the better reaction time wins.

How did Drag racing gets its name?
In the 1950's and 60's, cars were often modified by their owners to achieve a one off "custom" look. These cars were called "HOTRODS" Their were suspension, driveline, body and engine modifications to make each vehicle unique. One popular modification was called "dropping" or lowering the suspension. This involved changing or modifying the springs, and made the car very low to the ground. The engines were also tweaked to produce a lot more horsepower than stock. As these vehicles cruised the streets, owners would often see each other. Sometimes there was a local hang out where these people and their cars would gather. As people talked and things progressed, it was only natural that owners would want to settle which car was best or quickest. Street racing was born. Cars would accelerate away from a green light at maximum throttle. The car that crossed the next light first was the winner. When these lowered cars took off, the massive power would make the back of the car squat causing the bumper to drag on the ground for the first few feet. As this type of racing continued, the term "drag" racing was born because of all those bumpers dragging on the pavement.

National (USA) 1/4 mile Drag Racing records are:
Top Fuel Dragster 4.42 seconds at 336 mph and Funny Car 4.65 at 333 mph.
Jet powered cars and trucks are fast but are not "official" classes competed at regular events...
Jet dragster records: jet semi-truck at 7.42 and 218 mph and jet cars often run under 5 seconds and over 330 mph. The cars often race side by side, but the trucks do not...
Rocket cars powered by fuels such as Hydrogen Peroxide or superheated water and steam, etc., are generally the fastest of all 1/4 mile racers by far, but are uncommon now and do not really "race" as they are exhibition vehicles or experimental...
Rocket statistics:
Sammy Miller ran the 1/4 mile in 3.58 seconds at 386 mph in 2002.
Deaf stunt woman Kitty O'Neill (the movie about her is "Silent Victory") covered a standing start 1/4 mile in 1977 in incredible 3.235 seconds at 412 mph. I believe this was on a desert race course, not a paved race track, and as such there was a lot more shut down area... and alot more camels.
There is a "Swissrocketman" car running in the low 3's at over 450 mph. This organization is involved in rocket powered bicycles, go karts, and wearable rocket belts...Of course, still in the course of production.
