Best time: 6.47s

The in-game manual says a sub-6.5s time is an Expert time, so I'm counting it as beaten.

There just isn't much to this game at all (there really isn't much to an actual drag race, anyway). It's 2-player only, so the only thing to do for 1-player is to try for a better time. There's a good chance you'll get too frustrated by repeatedly blowing out your engine at the start to keep at it. The first couple gear changes are extremely quick. And if you succeed, the game is over in under 10 seconds. There's also only two modes: either you need to steer or you don't. I guess if you have someone to play against, just the competitive nature of it might keep you interested. It would also lend itself to a quick tournament, if you so desired.
