And it doesnt matter what state, city or county you live in there are v8 muscle races takin place on the street on slicks any given night. Just cuz you dont know about it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. So you can write your own rules but you cant change the ones that have been here for years.
    RWD on slicks is NOT the same as a FWD honda on slicks.

    ever steered a HONDA with 24in on the front vs a Mustang with ET streets. yeah, totally unsafe in the honda. Your power wheels are also your TURNING wheels in a FWD car and a car with slicks, DOESNT TURN. So any roll racing is extremely dumb and dangerous.

    Street Digs is fine, but cops are DEEP here, and if you get caught, its an automatic drag racing ticket with $1000+ fines, impounded car, you got to jail etc. And you cant run from a cop in FWD car on slicks. RWD car you can.

    So yeah, totally not even close to being the same. But if you wanna do it, you got balls. Ill give you that.

    come on dont act dumb lol

    Roll racing is WAY safer than dig racing. Two cars on a highway doing 90-100mph arent automatically "racing". Two cars lined up on the street at 2am with slicks on , yeah try selling that one to the judge.

    I still think if you go to BP, or barrett, or anywhere else with your All Motor honda, and try to get people to run you on SLICKS, you are going to get bored very fast. People just dont do it here. And youll have to go run the RWD guys.

    Whats ur point on that one? You go get ur 500 people that will say street racing(including rolls) is not smart and dangerous and i will give each and everyone of them REAL statistics of what is REALLY not smart and dangerous on the streets. Hell DRUNK DRIVING(DUI) would take days to compile the info alone, so lets stay on topic

    Actually, I know several places where digs are still run. Slick cars run all the time on the street. You just have to know where to do it. Granted, you hardly ever see a Honda out, as most of the cars are trailers Mustangs or G-bodys.
    Its not a big here as it used to be, because we have several grudge tracks close enough that it makes more sense to take it to the track.

    Man back in the day ALL WE DID WAS DIG RACES. No one did slicks though at most was drag radials.

    Around 06 everyone just got faster with turbo cars and such that roll racing became more popular. Now it's all anyone does. I hated roll racing but that all people wanted to do. Roll racing just proves who has more Hp, dig you could beat people with more power by being a better driver

    im not saying it HASNT been done, but what im saying is i street raced here for close to 10 years, and ive NEVER seen anyone set up a STREET race on slicks. And the reasons were for what i said above. Why street race on slicks when you can just go to a track.

    I mean ive seen the vids of PACMAN and all the cali racers, ive seen the 900whp EK civic from NY racing on the highway with full slicks blocking the entire interstate. Is it cool, yeah. Is it smart, not in my opinion. Its extremely dangerous to be doing those kind of speeds.

    A track prepped surface is not the same as asphalt and i would advise against anyone doing it on the street from a pure safety standpoint. I had BFG Drag radials on my CRX, but i would NEVER EVER EVER agree to a dig run with slicks on the street.

    but if you can find someone to do it, you got balls, and i hope you guys are safe

    First of all most tracks are only concrete for the first 60 feet second of all most tracks are only really prepped for the first 60 feet. Third of all ive seen more accidents at the track than i have at any street races. But like you said you are entitled to your opinion, and im ok with that but you guys keep sayin "this is ATL" as if there is something special about it here... Its been done up north and out west for years, not because you dont get into the same trouble but because we realized that it can be done the right and you get into the same trouble no matter how you are doing it... So if you are gonna complain then just track race or dont race at all. Roll racin is just as dangerous and should not be taken lightly either.
