From that you will have an idea, and if you could visit a real drag strip, you would see how long, and how much stopping distance you would have to have. You would have to factor in the fact of a parachute not opening, and some kind of sand pit to stop the run-a-way dragsters could safely stop in. As far as a set plan for construction of a drag strip, I don't think that would exist. I have been to (probably over a hundred) drag strips and they were all different. The best plan was a ramp that got steeper at the end of the runway. This idea seemed to be the best for stopping the fast cars. I hope this helps. Good Luck!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> If you would go to NHRA or IHRA web sites you can see the rules to drag racing.
