    Hey BeamNG community, I've been playing a lot of maps recently and I've realised that there are no Dragstrips in BeamNG. It seems odd to me that one of the easiest maps to create hasn't been well...created. I can assure you that there are probably several people like myself who love the aspect and sport of Drag Racing, but I do not possess the wizardy that is needed to create a BeamNG map. I'm sure someone with even basic knowledge of creating maps could possibly create this as it's not at all as complex and detailed as some amazing maps we see created by some very talented individuals.

    If it were to be created, here would be the criteria:

    - A basic map layout with two lanes
    - Basic granstands either side of the strip
    - A building before the strip where commentators/hosts would be, like this:

    - An off-road where the cars would return back to the starting line
    - Possibly even working lights that tell you when you're staged, then ready, then go

    That's pretty much all there is at a Dragstrip, it's not a very complicated place. That's why I think it should be developed and implemented into BeamNG, because not only will it fit with the correct driving physics, but it will also make for some spectacular Drag Racing wrecks ;).

    An overall look of the Dragstrip looks like this:

    What do you think? Should this be added? I think it would be a great addition. Also sorry for not using a template if there is one...

    I'm pretty sure one is out there somewhere...

    fairly easy to make :)

    Dkutch made a very good drag racing map, but it does not work well after the pre-race update I believe.

    I have a model of the base, garage, and track for one. Decided against using it and I haven't made any progress on it since. It's not as pretty or big as the ones in your pics. Doubt it'll be long before one shows up.
