If you're looking for drag racing battles that take the cake, you can't go wrong with a fight between the Dodge Demon and the McLaren 720S. And this is precisely what we've brought along for today.
The quarter-mile sprint fight we've brought along for today is brilliant, as it involves two stock machines, since neither the Woking animal, nor the Mopar king packed any mods.

Note that the supercar and the muscle car engaged in multiple quarter-mile fights, with all of these taking place on the drag race.

Then there's the vlogging spice involved in the clip. We're talking about the vloggers behind the Demonology (Herman) and the Drag Times (Brooks) channels, with these being two of the most solid drag racing corners of the Internet.

Now, when such a drag race is covered in a long video, we normally drop the key points of the clip, so you know where to skip for the sprinting action. However, this is one of the exceptions, as watching the full story has plenty of benefits.

For instance, this drag strip encounter will tech you a thing or two about drag racing subtleties, such as using tire warmers for supercars that can't do burnouts to bring their rear tires up to temperature before a race.

Another example involves the tricks of staging, as taking too long to light the second yellow bulb and complete the procedure can throw your opponent off balance.

Returning to the vloggers who delivered this stunt, we feel Brooks relied on the considerably more expensive supercar to get the job done, while Herman tried to come up with shortcuts towards the finish line. However, you'll find both racers' point of view below (the clip on the left comes from Drag Times, while the one on the right is delivered by Demonology)
