    If its not from a dig, its nor real racing. I don't want to go out and see which person has spent the most money, I want to see a car with a balanced setup that can hook hard on the street, not a dyno queen that starts making power at 6k rpm.

    G.T.O.: I go fast enough.
    The Driver: You can never go fast enough.

    Why don't you tell the folks up at RA that? And F1, and Nascar.I sure they would get a chuckle.

    Racing is racing, doesn't have to be from a dig, nor does it have to be in a straight line.

    Are you seriously comparing F1 or even NASCAR to any form of street racing? You are not Michael Schumacher, get over it. The name of the game is 1/8 or 1/4 from a dig. I'm not saying I don't mess around from a roll on occasion but this 80,90,100mph roll bullshit is getting out of hand.

    a race is anything the two parties involved agree on either distance or time involved. most people race from a roll just because it's easier to go get it done and less likelihood of getting nabbed for it. a lot of the spots people go to run digs are well known after a short time and have very little in the way of exits/escape routes if the police do show up.

    i do agree that a roll is less about the driver and more about the car, but for just some fun runs it's the way to go.

    I'm not comparing them. You stated, "If its not from a dig, its nor real racing." Doesn't sound like you put the term "street" in there at all .....
