How to unlock the Life's a Drag achievement in Forza Horizon 3 - Definitive Guide
The Air Field Car Meet (Outback), is where you can do drag races on the airstrip, unlocked ~1 Million fans.
Just join a showdown (drag race), with each of the car classes (D, C, B, A, S1, S2), you don't need to win. Class X is NOT required!

how do you get the option to start a showdown ? i only get the option to do a free roam or adventure :/

In addition to what AussieBigfoot said above...
If you don't have the option to start a showdown, it means there's one currently in progress (press RT and there should be flags next to people's gamertags), wait a while for it to finish and you'll be able to start one afterwards.
If you're waiting more than five minutes, it's fair to say the server has probably crashed, so you'll have to exit and try again.
Also if you didn't know, you can switch cars without leaving the car meet. Press and then "change car".

does not work for me every time i go into the car meet it immediately stops the player search. It's incredible frustrating. Tried it for over an hour with nobody showing up.

It's the "view" button on the left of the controller to change car.

There is a different kind of drag race from the "Showdown" that counts towards this...
This is where you drive into the parking garage and press Y to join an online free roam session. Having done that, you can drive down to the end of the long straight track where there is a blue icon that looks like a sprint race. This is where the drag race can be started. I did it this way for most of my drag races before I discovered the showdown. I only did showdowns in Class C and B but still got the achievement, having done all the other classes in this type of drag race.
Thanks to Pteppic42 for confirming that player created blueprint drags work to get this achievement as well as the stock ones.

The point is relative what is shown to you on the map on free roaming adventure, it depends of the level of the players. Something could be shown on your map when you are playing with others online, due their level but, when you go back to your solitude, some icons are gone.
Those depends mostly on the festival sites upgrades.
It is pretty normal to do for example a stunt online jumping and then go back to your solo game and there is not such a place marked, yet, because you have not enough level to unlock it

Freeroam - airport drag event - start.
Takes up to a minute (the race itself 30 seconds).
Repeat it 25 times and you're done unlocking also another achievement 👍
You race in that airport drag event in every class of car (D, C, B, A, S2, S1, X).
You can do it as you blueprint that event and make sure it's set on every car eligible with no specific class.

All you need to do is join an Online Freeroam Session and once in, simply start the Drag Race event that’s on the right side of the air strip.
You do not need to wait hours for doing the “Showdown” in the parking garage as many of us thought for years.
Most people are down to randomly join events in Free Roam so you should have no trouble.
I got Class D, C, B, A, S1, and S2 done in under 20 minutes back to back with randoms.
Be sure to set your blueprint to allow all classes.
Quickly teleport back to the event once you load back in so other players don’t start an event. You’re able to teleport back to the event quicker than the session recognizes the race is over yet.

From the Pause Menu, go to Online Free Roam. At the airfield, there is Car Meet. Enter that and participate in any Showdown that is being started. You need to run every car-class once except X-class. You do not have to win the drag race for this achievement. With some luck and people online, you will be able to enter every next showdown while changing cars in-between.

We go into a free game, there on the runway we meet a drag racing car. All classes except X are needed.
