I’m working on a new commission (client request was sunset at a drag race). This isn’t my usual style so I’m feeling a little out of my element. Right now, I am not sure if I should keep it closer to how it is currently, or if I should try to add more detail and precision and try for more realistic.
Should I maybe add some cars or headlights/taillights?
Does it look like a drag strip?

Haha, you called it! My personal frame of reference for drag strips only comes from video games. I did a bunch of searches for drag strips, and sunset drag race, etc., and kind of amalgamated a bunch of them in my head.
The client is a friend and she wanted a gift for her husband. She doesn’t have much input, just says she “trusts” me.
