7.2.1 - If the drag strip is intended for FIA
Championships, the length of the track should be 1/4 mile
between the start line and the finish line, plus at least 30 feet
(9.1 m) before the start line. For 1/8 mile events the length of
the track should be 1/8 mile between the start line and the
finish line, plus at least 30 feet (9.1 m) before the start line.
Final determination of braking area to be determined by
inspector on track licensing.
7.2.2 - Braking areas:
These areas, and in particular the final braking distances, will
be subjected to the requirements laid down by the FIA
inspector, and their design features will be noted on the track
license.
7.3 Longitudinal profile:
The maximum rise or fall of any track should be 1 %.
7.4 Transversal incline:
The transversal incline between the two edges of the track and
shutdown area, or between the center-line and the edge
(camber), shall not exceed 2 %.
7.5 Surface:
Track: smooth flat surface of recognized roadbase
construction hot mix, concrete, or approved sealed bitumen
surface. Shoulders and irregular joints are not permitted. All
edges must be satisfactorily blended.
Primary Braking Area: must be of a sealed surface similar to
that used for the Track.
Emergency Braking: sealed surface, grass, sand or gravel, of
an even texture.
Tolerances: the aim should be a maximum of ± 6 mm
(1/4 inch) in any 33 feet (10 m) distance, for the Track and the
Primary Braking Area.
7.6 Strip Markings:
The track boundaries and the centerline must be clearly
marked with a white or yellow line at least 4" (100 mm) wide.
The speed traps should be marked with diagonal lines, before
and on the finish line.
7.7 Return Road / Turnoffs:
The Return Road should be a minimum of 10 feet (3 meters)
in width, with suitable access to Pit and Staging Lane areas. It
should be sealed so that all vehicles may use it at all times.
Exit points from the Braking Area should be sealed, and
shaped to accommodate the turning circles of the longest
vehicles. The recommended width at the track edge is 30 feet
(9.2 meters) blending into the Return Road Width.
It is recommended that a minimum of two exits be placed
between a point approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) beyond the
finish line and the end of the braking area. Access for
emergency vehicles is of the utmost importance.

a drag strip is one quarter of a mile long.
a mile is 1,760 yards.
half a mile is 880 yards.
quarter mile is therefore, 440 yards.
