You can set up a dragstrip in 2 ways - formal and informal.

FORMAL: Installation of starting tree linked to computers in a "control room", and possibly to top-end scoreboards and timeslip booth. This will be very costly on top of the expense of purchasing/building a straight 1-mile strip of ashphalt and areas for cars to line up and pit.

INFORMAL: Rental of an unused airport and have a flagman drop a flag to start the race (the way they used to do it back in the first part of the 1900's). Airports have plenty of parking and are supposedly to be 100% flat for the airplanes to take off and land properly.
