Rollout or rollout allowance is an adjustment in timed acceleration runs used by North-American drag racing and enthusiast magazines [citation needed] to create approximate parity over time between historic 0 to 60 mph and 1/4 mile acceleration times and those measured today using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Bracket racing is a form of drag racing that allows for a handicap between predicted elapsed time of the two cars over a standard distance, typically within the three standard distances (1/8 mile, 1,000 foot, or 1/4 mile) of drag racing.

The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.
