Drag racing is a type of motor racing in which automobiles or motorcycles (usually specially prepared for the purpose) compete, usually two at a time, to be first to cross a set finish line. The race follows a short, straight course from a standing start over a measured distance, most commonly ¼ mile (1,320 ft (402 m)), with a shorter 3/16 mile 10 feet (1,000 ft (305 m)) used by nitromethane powered Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars along with some bracket races, while 660 ft (201 m) (1/8 mi) is also popular in some circles. Electronic timing and speed sensing systems have been used to record race results since the 1960s.
Drag racing has existed in both street racing and regulated motorsport forms since automobiles and motorcycles were developed. The street racing form, which is usually illegal, is covered elsewhere; this article covers the legal sport.
Before each race (commonly known as a pass), each driver is allowed to perform a burnout, which heats the driving tires and lays rubber down at the beginning of the track, improving traction. Each driver then lines up (or stages) at the starting line.
RuPaul Andre Charles (born November 17, 1960), best known mononymously as RuPaul, is an American actor, drag queen, model, author, and recording artist. RuPaul was born and raised in San Diego and later moved to Atlanta to study performing arts. He settled in New York City where he became a popular fixture on the nightclub scene.
RuPaul achieved international fame as a drag queen with the hit song "Supermodel (You Better Work)" from her album Supermodel of the World (1993) and later dueted with Elton John on the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". In 1996, she became a spokesperson for MAC Cosmetics, raising money for the Mac AIDS Fund and becoming the first drag queen supermodel. The same year, she landed her own talk show The RuPaul Show which ran for two years on VH1 before co-hosting the morning radio show on WKTU with Michelle Visage. She has since released the albums Foxy Lady (1996), Ho, Ho, Ho (1997), Red Hot (2004), Champion (2009), Glamazon (2011), Born Naked (2014), Realness (2015) and Slay Belles (2015), and made appearances in films including Crooklyn (1994), The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995) and But I'm a Cheerleader (1999). RuPaul has also published two books: Lettin' It All Hang Out (1995) and Workin' It (2010). His reality television series RuPaul's Drag Race, which follows RuPaul in his search for the next drag superstar, has produced seven series on LGBTQ network Logo TV. She is also a host on television shows Skin Wars and Good Work.
RuPaul's Drag Race is an American reality competition television series produced by World of Wonder for Logo TV. The show documents RuPaul in his search for "America's next drag superstar." RuPaul plays the roles of host, mentor, and source of inspiration for this series, as contestants are given different challenges each week. RuPaul's Drag Race employs a panel of judges, including RuPaul, Michelle Visage and a host of other guest judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The title of the show is a play on drag queen and drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme.
RuPaul's Drag Race has spanned seven seasons and inspired the spin-off shows RuPaul's Drag U and RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race. The show has become the highest-rated television programme on Logo TV, and airs internationally, including in Australia, Canada and the UK. The show won Outstanding Reality Program at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards, has been nominated for 4 Critics' Choice Television Award including Best Reality Series – Competition and Best Reality Show Host for RuPaul, and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Make-up for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic). In 2015, RuPaul's Drag Race was renewed for an eighth season and RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race was renewed for a second season.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2 - Ep.1 (Subtitulado Español)
RuPaul - Read U Wrote U (feat. The Cast of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2) Performance HD
Actors: RuPaul (actor), Michael Lucas (producer), Boy George (actor), Michael Musto (actor), Randy Jones (actor), Bruce Vilanch (actor), Michael Lucas (actor), The Lady Bunny (actress), Gerald McCullouch (actor), Amanda Lepore (actress), Wilfried Knight (actor), Steven Polito (actor), Ben Patrick Johnson (actor), Dan Renzi (actor), Mickey Skee (actor),
Plot: Turning the gay adult industry on its cock-eyed (cock-heavy?) ear, Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons quickly became one of the most-talked about gay porns of 2005. Purportedly one of the most expensive endeavors of its type ever, Lucas' adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' thrice-filmed classic novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" updates the action to today's New York fashion world. Taking the already deliciously nasty scenario to even tastier levels, the sexual tension and antics that were only alluded to in previous incarnations are now played out for viewers in gloriously nasty, fully-hardcore sexual trysts. But what really raised eyebrows were the high-profile non-porn personalities who popped up in the film: Amanda Lepore, Boy George, Bruce Vilanch, Graham Norton, Hedda Lettuce, Lady Bunny, The Village Voice's Michael Musto and RuPaul all make appearances (thankfully in non-sexual roles -- sorry, Bunny!). The gamble paid off: the film was an instant smash with critics as well as with porn-fiends everywhere, garnering the year's most GayVN Award nominations (13) and scoring four, including nods for its killer screenplay, Best Supporting Actor Kent Larson and a tie for Best Picture of the Year. Here now is your chance to go behind-the-scenes and see not only the creation of this sizzling flick, but also hear from the participants and industry elite. You'll hear insightful and witty (and uproariously filthy) comments from such luminaries as the irrepressible Bruce Vilanch, Lady Bunny, RuPaul, and glamazon Amanda Lapore, as well the film's cavalcade of drop-dead gorgeous (and frequently fully naked) lead actors. Some of the best lines are delivered by Mr. Lucas himself, whose refreshingly candid and self deprecating delivery is sure to win over even non-fans. Make no mistake, though -- there's plenty of fully explicit flesh on display here. This World Premiere will be followed by a panel discussion to be moderated by Michael Musto. Also scheduled to appear live and in person will be Bruce Vilanch, Michael Lucas, porn star (and cast member) J., Matthew Roberts and other surprise guests.
