Is there any way the devs could consider making the drag strip map include an option for staging and free racing? What I mean is, you start a ways back in your lane, heat up the tires, move to the line, and wait for the tree to light up. Maybe there could be a way to only let the starting sequence enable when both (all) cars are staged correctly? That might add a few variables into the monotony of the drag strip.

Would be nice. Also, while scawen's at it and as I guess it would be quite similar to do I'd really like to see an optional warmup lap before a race with manually having to go to your starting position.

Man I TOTALLY agree and like the idea of staging and burnouts, I think its a great idea. It will just add further to the realism of drag racing. I am glad to see that others are feeling the same as I do

yes staging and burnouts i would love to see come to lfs drag strip. the track itself would get more use. i would love it and im sure many others would to. no warm up lap just staging and burnouts.

Why the hell wouldn't you want optional warm up laps? I think it's probably something difficult in online racing, but in leagues it might work.

that's a good point.

Great idea, Fethred! would be great, specially in drag tournaments (if they exist in LFS)...

I can barely hear my own tire squeal without pressing Shift+A and turning everything else down. Lasting tire smoke too and I think I'd like this Drag Staging idea.

Turn everything to default, no need for a ricerish exhaust tone
