Tips
The key to winning a drag race is to accelerate quickly off the line, you will need to pick Karts with high acceleration and top speed to stay ahead, handling doesn't matter in drag racing since you are driving in a straight line. one good kart for drag racing would be the Vampyre as it focuses purely on top speed and acceleration.
