Sir Speedsalot dares you: Win the half-mile drag

ARCADE DISTRICT: Sir Speedsalot rolled up to the start line this morning and left a note for every racer in town. Today’s Daily Challenge: Win the half-mile drag.
“Do try to keep up.”
An 800 m drag race: launch on green, shift in the green band of the tachometer and save nitrous for the end. Complete it once on its day for 300 coins and 100 Road Pass XP.
Tip of the day: The launch is half the race
For today’s 800 m drag race
During the lights, hold to rev and keep the needle in the launch band. Let go the instant the light turns green. A PERFECT launch is worth more than any single shift, especially in the eighth mile.
Yesterday on the track
The track was quiet yesterday. Today’s boards are wide open: one good race could put you on top.
Yesterday’s challenge was “Top 3 in Rhythm Run on Hard”.
Today’s Time Trial: Click Race · 250 clicks
A 250-click Click Race: every press of the red button (or Space) moves your car one step and the first car across the line wins. Everyone races the same course from 00:00 to 24:00 UTC and only your best time counts. The top 1%, 10% and 25% win coins when the day ends.
The Tour: Haunted Highway

Fog on the road and something strange in the mirrors. Some racers only come out in October. You race one rival at a time across ten chapters and 80 stages, and beating the final boss wins the Hollow Rod, a car that never comes back. 6 days left this month.
