Dial In: The expected time spent by the car to overcome the quarter or the eighth mile is usually measured up to 1/100 seconds. Inherited from the very first computers for people with disabilities, which forecasts were entered using a disk regulator. Modern handicappers use input from the keyboard. Phone calls are used to limit machines for disposal. When two cars are involved in the race, two dialing of the number are subtracted, and a slower machine is given in the start.
Working volume: the overall theoretical volume of the fuel and air mixture, which a particular engine is capable of sucking into all cylinders during one complete operation cycle.
DNQ: does not comply with the requirements.
Doorlammer: car with doors (unlike dragster).
Drag Race: Acceleration Competitions between 2 cars for a certain distance (usually 1/8 or 1/4 miles). Brequet Drag Racing is based on Ethandicap. In Bracket Racing, a slower car receives odds.
Dropper cylinder: a state in which the ignition candle does not ignite when an excess of fuel in the combustion chamber extends a spark, thereby significantly reducing the overall output power. The fallen cylinder can be distinguished by emission of raw fuel from the cylinder exhaust manifold.
Last time: Also known as ET - the time required by the transport medium for passing from the start line to the finish line. Time is usually measured up to 1/1000 seconds. The car "starts" or launches the ET timer, turning off the intermediate beam and ending when a similar light beam is interrupted by a vehicle on the finish line to complete the countdown.


Exceptions: After the qualification, the car participates in the race two at a time, as a result of which from each pair is detected by one winner. Winners continue to compete in a tournament style until one remains.
Fire Bottles: fire extinguishers. In some cases, the fire extinguisher is activated by pressing or pulling inside the vehicle.
Fuel injection: the usual feed system, which injected fuel directly and evenly into the airflow for each engine cylinder.
Wrong start: also known as red light. The wrong start is indicated by the red light on the Christmas tree when the car leaves the start line until green light or the start signal is obtained.
Full Christmas tree: a certain starting sequence produced on the Christmas tree, in which participants see the countdown of three yellow signals and green starting fire with an interval in half awend (0,500 seconds).
Green Light: Light on a tree that signals the driver about what needs to go. https://demotix.com/tag/max-polyakov/
