Nothing like a roll vs dig argument to weed out all the manual trans pussies. Typical manual trans guy says he likes to shift gears, and that automatics are boring and predictable. Yet that same manual trans guy wants to go from a roll to eliminate any chance of error with the poor trans choice. :bored:
Build a car, not just a motor. You can't race a car without a driver, and you can't race a driver without a car. You race both. Don't like breaking parts? Can't hook? Ditch the manual trans and street tires or put some REAL effort into your car, not just a dyno. Roll racing is for guys with more money than brains or talent.
I couldnt care less how dig only racers feel. I prefer rolls not because I cant drive..but its what I prefer. Simple as that. I dont preplan races and if i see another car riding along on the highway and they want to play, it will be a roll. Or we could just be dumbasses and stop in the middle of the road like the diggers do.
I detect much anger in your post. You must have been smashed on the highway by a higher hp car with a manual trans? I'm pretty sure my car has real effort into it, but apparently that's not real enough for you? We have very few spots to race from a dig in this town and every spot is an 1/8th mile or less. That isn't a race. I'd be happy to have you ride shotgun in my non real car as I brake boost the shit out of it, while watching for my shift light, simultaneously making sure my wideband doesn't go lean, all the while banging the next gear on the 50 to 150 mile non real roll race. You sound like a big blowhard with a slow car who doesn't know what the **** he's talking about.Nothing like a roll vs dig argument to weed out all the manual trans passes.

Some people don't care who the better driver is, all they want to know is which car has the better power:weight ratio and is ultimately the faster car. Roll racing tells you this, dig racing allows other factors to be more important.
Impromptu roll races are one thing, and aren't really that bad, as long as it's not moon racing. :lol1: Setting up a roll race is a whole other level of stupid. I equate setting up a roll race with your stopping on a busy highway to go from a dig.
I just sit back and laugh at those who preach about manual trans cars requiring skill to drive. Yet when an auto car pulls up, they want a roll race that negates most driver skill. No kidding?
You sound like someone with an automatic who got raped from a roll. Just saying.
I prefer rolls because I hate breaking shit. Maybe you need more power. ;-):burn:
I've NEVER lost a roll race. :read:
Breaking shit? Build a better CAR!

You gotta pay to play. Alot of that is breaking shit. Alot of breaking shit is launching hard at low speeds/digs. There is a lot more stress on the suspension and more importantly drivetrain.
Please enlighten us about your better car...
