Third teen dies after truck hit two cars on US 27 - Sun Sentinel
Here in New Jersey a LOT more people get nailed dig racing(down in Newark for example where it's big) than roll racing.

Dig > Roll anyday!
Roll Racing.....WHY?
......because it takes brains to get a high hp car to hook and there aren't many of them left anymore.
Was talking with a friend about not even watching roll racing on vid. He noted there's not point might as well just bring out dyno sheets! :lol:

I prefer the rolls better. As most has stated, easier, less problems for the car , no traction and driver mod excuses. Now granted , there is also bickering going on with roll races but for the most part roll races detemrine the faster car and not the better driver or the car with better traction.. Simple. some of you dig guys take is so personal . lol
Dig>Roll Anyone with high horsepower and cookie cutter tires can roll race. Traction can win or loose races.
Edit the problem I see is that eventually there will come a time when a roll race guys pulls up to a light and gets broke off by a slower car because he has no traction. If the roll racer has an ounce of competitiveness he'll feel like he just took a bite of a shit sandwich and won't like the taste in his mouth that no traction leaves.
So do yourselves a favor and be well rounded and not one dimensional or eventually you'll have a bad taste in your mouth.

Any race is good enough for me. I also said a dig shows who's the better launch driver, not the better driver :shrug:
Not everyone can shift and make the car look like its an auto but also not everyone can launch the car as well as others. The main problem with dig that a lot of people fight with is traction which sticky tires helps improve it by a huge amount or fixes the problem.
With the rest I agree, I dont mind either one.
Still, to show who really has the better driving skills, you need a road course since it uses all of the above and more.
Really? Better car/driver......Depends on how the car is set up...etc
Nice kill...........
What standard, sub 800hp roll racing guys are having traction issues? Most guys are gonna have enough tire to hook at 40-60mph. I doubt anyone out there is running a 500hp fwd civic with only 195's up front, or a 700hp gt500 with anything less than 10.5" DR's out back.
Eventually there will come a time when a drag racing guy gets smashed by a stockish AWD car because of just that, traction. Been there before. And no, I wasnt in the losing car, I was an intersection ahead because I had the traction from the dig and not enough HP and enough RPM to jump across the intersection and make the guy next to me (easy 350-400hp fbody) go "holy ****" to what he thought was a modded 1st gen (stock with fmic+3" turboback). Its not hard when you just mash the gas right before it turns green, hit about 5k and a few psi of boost and slip the clutch out and ride it out from 1st to 2nd while the other guy is spinning, then shut down lol'ing at how lame running from a dig is. A boost controller and i wouldve stayed in it through third before he even stopped my pull.

What's your next thread - chocolate ice cream sucks!! Who agrees:lol:

80 roll or nothing.
My stockish gt500 looses traction at 60mph, I'm way under 800whp.. Also rwd will beat awd everytime if the person knows what they are doing in a serious race. This is coming from someone with quite a few years of street racing experience and won a few bucks from it. Never have I or my buddies lost to any AWD car and I've raced everything from big turbo Evo's to big turbo Skylines. RWD is king for serious stuff.:beer:

star specs and coilovers. I'm worried about it spinning, then finding a spot with good traction and the shock of it grabbing takes out an axle.
yea im just going to stop in the middle of the interstate because some guy on the internet called me a pussy for roll racing lol....not
Dig is the only thing we can do at the track where I do ALL of my racing. I don't really have a choice.
"Rollin aint Racing"
But the new crowds prefer to go from a 40 because all they need to do is mash the peddle. Also some have figured out that a decent big HP car may even slip from a 40 and that gives them a chance to jump out front for a few secs, and put the flashers on. Then you get the "I was ahead and shut down" excuse as soon as you pull their slow stuff.
But these are the things you deal with in a street race. From a roll or a dig sometimes. Better to just hit the track...that way you see that BIG ASS BLOODY CLOCK will not lie about how fast or slow you really are.
