Me thinks someone may have come across a turbo car that he couldn't handle? ;-)
Alas, I kid. But I don't like buying replacement parts, er go, roll racing FTW.
this is why i stopped doing dig races every single weekend :shrug:

I've been fighting against the roll race crowd for about 12 years now. It's a losing battle, street racing/ drag racing is almost a lost art, most are just terrible at it and don't attempt it. Now I have a rollie car and haven't seen one thing that will line up. Figures.

It's not that I am "scared" to break something... I just prefer not to.
One of my axles cost more than your car. I get zero traction in 1st gear on my car on the street. One of these days when you get above 250rwhp you will understand.
:lol:
Something to do with a v6 appearance mod

Hey now, when you have 278rwhp things are a heck of a lot easier from a dig. I just dont care for the struggle to merge into traffic with that kind of setup. I think for the 30 roll races ive had on the street.....ive never had a dig race randomly.
Less chance for driver error in roll racing. Usually, the more powerful car will win. I don't do it very often myself, just when I'm really bored on the highway. I prefer the track, and that is where I do the majority of my racing.
I guess it comes down to, if you don't like it, don't do it. Stop looking down at others just because they don't like what you like.

Both happen around here, low rolls for fast cars, 1000 wheel isn't hooking on cool blacktop but slower cars like me will go from a dig. I still find 20-40 rolls fun but its all who traps more, coming out of the hole on the street is a skill on street tires. Alot of people here doing dig hits just feel the need to go flat out off the hit.
Both types of races serve a purpose and can potentially prove different things. You can't say "roll races prove nothing" b/c they certainly do. If you have two cars, or even just one, that have more of a road course suspension setup or just a lot of power and aren't running slicks then running from a roll at least typically will let you see which car is faster. Now I agree, that is different than which one is faster from a dig or at the drag strip but again, these are two different things.
Real easy explanation.
On the street from a dig the driver usually dictates the win (assuming fairly equal cars). On a roll the actual power to weight of the car usually dictates the win. Rolls typically take traction and driver error out of the equation. So do you want to race the driver or the car...?

A lot of guys don't give two shits who the better driver is. Drivers make mistakes and give excuses.
They want to see who the better car is. Results don't lie when two cars go on three runs and the results are the same each time.
If I want to see who the better driver is, its not drag racing, it involves using the steering wheel and turning. I think its funny drag racers neuter their cars handling and driving characteristics to get 1320' down the road faster than the other guy. No thanks.
