This might not be the exact correct spot for this, but I think its a good place to start the conversation. Racing, we all know that certain factions like to hold illegal street races in Los Santos, but I think it would be cool to utilize the arena for some legal racing. I have been talking about this with some friends and while we concede that we do not have everything flushed out we do have some ideas that could help develop a really cool legal racing system.
Create a faction that runs legal races at the arena, or maybe the airport run ways.
Maybe also use the dirt bike track (separate motocross faction?)
Use the race system that GTA has so racers need to hit the checkpoints and complete the race
Maybe allow faction members a few different layouts and things for amateur races
Weekly race would be more like a NASCAR race with a oval track
This faction could have jobs such as the following
Ticket Seller - Similar to toll booth but people could buy tickets/gain entry into the arena to watch races
Mobile Billboard Driver - Probably similar to bus routes but could have some things added into it.
Race Coordinator - Launches Amateur races
Race Car Drivers - Actually perform races weekly (maybe on like Sundays or something)
Businesses could sponsor race drivers to get their logo on the car of that racer (could change weekly or maybe not even sponsor every week)
Maybe businesses could employ a racer to join the weekly race every week
Could be a source on revenue for the race faction to have racers/sponsors pay racer's entry into race each week
Pit Crew workers - People to fix cars and refuel cars in the pit
Maybe racer team could supply their own pit crew
Amateur races could be launched at any time a race coordinator is on duty and the required number of racers show up to race
Maybe like a queue to wait for races
Race Coordinator would choose race types and enter racers into races
Races could include car restrictions like compact cars only or muscle cars (basically just the different categories of car that already exist)
Racers would supply their own cars and the Arena could potentially employ (or set up a deal with an existing mechanic shop) to have mechanics on site in case of a crash
Betting on weekly races (maybe amateur ones too?)
I realize this is a ton of information, I more or less wanted to get it all written down someplace so that it doesn't just exist in my head. I just think its a little crazy to have street races be illegal and have no real legal outlet for that. I could be ok with either Amateur races or professional races or both. Just would like to see something like this added, and the arena seems like a perfect place to do it, or have races at the airport runways, or maybe some other location I don't even know about.
