What does 04 acceleration race mean?

[Santana]

04 refers to the 0~400 meter car acceleration race (also known as the 1/4 mile acceleration race), where the car that completes the 400-meter distance in the shortest time wins. In addition to 04, there are related events such as 02 and 08. This type of competition originated from the NHRA events in the United States, with the first such event held in the U.S. dating back to 1951, after which it became popular nationwide. The rules of the 04 acceleration race: 1. Race time: Two cars compete simultaneously, and the winner is not determined by who finishes first, but by the time each car takes to complete the 400 meters (calculated separately). 2. Classification: Due to significant inherent differences in car engine models, the 04 acceleration race groups cars based on engine displacement and cylinder count, including categories like four-cylinder four-wheel drive, four-cylinder front-wheel drive, six-cylinder front-wheel drive, turbocharged, etc., with very detailed classifications.
