So usually, the times (in the past) I've street raced, I went from rolls. If you have a good bit of power, then that will always be an issue. I know guys with 900whp Vipers that run single digit ET's, yet only run from a roll on the street, simply because it's too difficult to leave the hole. I've found myself in the same boat many times. It was no indication of driving skill whatsoever.
