Usually a 100 metre strip. You take off hard like in a drag race and have to pull the car up with the front wheels on the finish line. The clock doesn't stop until the front wheels are stopped on it. That includes tim to go further forward or back up if you fall short or overshoot. Takes a bit of practice.

There is a track with a start line and a finish line, not sure about the distance (maybe 200m?). The idea is to get from the start to finish as fast as possible but you have to stop with your front wheels on the finish line. If you overshoot the finish line you are disqualified.

Edit- beaten by a few seconds :P smciner1's description is more accurate than mine.
