I also got tired of doing drag races by the festival in the VW IDR. Now I do them IN A SOLO LOBBY at the airport in a Fury. After each race, I spend about a minute getting 78,000-ish points in a Plymouth Fury or other x7 car (Tamo Racemo, Rid Rod, and a bunch of hoonigans are others). I time it so I rack up that many points when I end up at back the starting point of the drag strip. Create a new race again and you'll bank the points into the race and get credit for them as the race starts. You have to be in a solo lobby so other people aren't clearing the obstacles and they will reset after each race.
For every 1000 blueprint exp, I add about 100 perk points. At least you're getting something useful out of it this way. I'm about 45 runs (and 450 perk points) away from level 5. Hopefully the income bug on the story card will be fixed soon.
Here are the x7 point cars:
