I know that math has been around for millennia and that pretty much all of history relied on the mathematicians and engineers figuring shit like this out with just numbers and some drawings, my mind is still boggled at how they came up with shit like this without visual representations like high speed video
Nobody properly understood how horses galloped until they were able to photograph one. Historical paintings of horses almost always showed their legs in incorrect positions. Most commonly all four legs off the ground outstretched front and back which is impossible. We had an exact understanding of how a horses heart worked long before we were able to properly comprehend how their legs moved.
Drag tracks spray something (I always suspected a solvent) to make the pavement extra sticky to give the wheels the best possible grip for the best acceleration.
Much like how a spider's feet don't stick to its own web, a drag queen's stiletto heels don't have enough surface area to stick to the pavement. Leaving her free to hide in wait for a sufficiently hunky victim to become completely trapped.
There's not actually any reason the transporter beam would need to *reassemble* whatever it's gone and disintegrated. I'd imagine the holodeck/holosuites just disintegrate whatever's in there as a cleaning method.
You can't really go with DS9 for evidence on this sort of thing... 1) DS9 wasn't a federation design, and 2) DS9 as a show was intentionally "dirtier and grittier" and that's frankly why they went with point 1, because they wanted a less utopian show without messing with the established utopia of the Federation. A fair bit of DS9 stuff contradicts the other shows. But also it's just common sense that it's cheaper to disintegrate the waste and NOT re-integrate it (Which costs additional energy).
Also, transporters are generally one of the more narratively problematic techs in Trek. Canonically, they operate by doing a 100% perfect scan of the target, disintegrating it (Reducing them to component atoms) and then using effectively replicator tech, recreating the target at the destination. In practical terms there's no reason you can't use it to create infinite copies of someone or something, for instance. But also certainly nothing stopping you from disintegrating and not recreating.

i wonder if it works better with different sole materials or if it's just a weight thing that gets some people more stuck than others

There must be something to what you are saying because the crews walk all around the cars when they are getting ready to run.

Also, i think, a time factor, see the group of kids standing still for a while and then trying to jump.

Oh to answer your question there was a whole lot of trial and error

They didn't really know how horses ran until the invention of the camera.

They have a tractor that drags tires across the surface and they spray it with chemicals

Gawd, we should start calling the crews or cars this. The general racing participant would have a fit.

Nah. It's beamed out into space automatically.

it's recycled into their breakfast; for sanitary reasons the replicator keeps separate closed biomatter loops for each crewmember
