I see Turn 10 added Indianapolis to FM5. Maybe sometime in the future we could get the Indianapolis IHRA 4th mile track?
ANY drag fan knows of these two drag strips-
Infineon
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Indianapolis has been here since launch, I don’t think there will be any other drag strips added since they’re technically the same for the 10 seconds you’re racing on them.

If the cars reacted differently to track surface and temperature then it would be a great idea. The times wont be far off but some tracks would be very difficult to handle, especially if the strip is narrow.
The same but different. In FM4 with the same tune you would get different times on the 1/4 mile tracks…some faster, some slower. With only the same track to race on dragging gets kinda monotonous…hence that’s why we street drag more now
Good point
IMS and Lucas Oil Raceway (formerly O’Reilly Raceway Park, formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park) are two completely separate facilities that are 7 miles apart. Separate facilities, separate ownership, separate licensing.
I would have loved to have seen Lucas Oil Raceway added in all its forms in conjunction with The Big Go and a car pack that filled the “Pro Stock Drag” body type that exists and is vacant. But it didn’t happen and it is far from being as easy as adding it because IMS is already in the game.
It’s also an NHRA track, not an IHRA track.
