Yes, in car- and motorbike races. That's because these engines has much more hp, and need a 1/4 to give an ideal performance, and idea of power.

In scooter-sprinting the 90% most often used sprint track is 150 m.
Small 70-80 stroke engines perform the best from 0-120 so the last meters arent realy useful without big gears or sprinting bikes that also perform well at high speed.

In UK and most other countries having the 1/4 mile strip they ride 4 stroke. 4 stroke has a total different powerband than the 2 stroke engines. 2 stroke perform real good in acceleration, and 4 stroke perform better at high speed, in general.

A) why without timers? Thats the whole point of tuning to beat the competition / previous score

B) Carpark is NOT a good or legal idea Its racing, lets keep car parks for parking cars, not carpark skidarounds
