GPS accuracy can vary depending on factors like satellite geometry, signal blockage, atmospheric conditions, and receiver quality. Typically, GPS-enabled smartphones are accurate to within a 4.9 m radius under open sky conditions, but this accuracy can worsen near obstacles like buildings and trees. High-end users can achieve real-time positioning within a few centimeters using dual-frequency receivers or augmentation systems.

The purpose of drag racing is competition, not research. Head-to-head is obvious, but bracket racing is about consistency.

Bracket racing - Wikipedia
The effect of the bracket racing rules is to place a premium on consistency of performance of the driver and car rather than on raw speed, which in turn makes victory much less dependent on large infusions of money and more dependent on mechanical and driving skill.
100-200km/hr is easier to convert to freedom units. How's about the flying mile?

Idris Elba sets "Flying Mile" UK land speed record in Bentley ...
The "Flying Mile" takes the average speed of a vehicle across two rolling-start runs of a mile (1.6 km) each. Elba achieved an average speed of 180.361 mph (290.263 km/h).
One can do that pretty much anywhere. Bonneville Speedway has 2.5 to 9 miles.
