We need a drag strip in the game along with a UI of some sort to track times such a quarter mile, half mile, and full mile.
I agree. The coolest thing they could do would be a realistically grippy prepped strip with a working Christmas tree that starts when you line a car up. Down the strip at the right spot they could put a time-board that takes your 1/4 time and speed just like a real one. It would then hold that info until you line back up at the start of the strip (allowing you to look at it). They could even put a burnout patch before the starting line (not that it would do anything, it'd just be cool). Seeing all this actually built into a map would be awesome, but I suppose a UI app would work just fine too.
Why doesn't the Hirochi Raceway have a drag strip? Devs? Clear out your collisionless buildings and put in a drag strip. That's all I have to say.
