Building a car that doesn't leave from the dig on the street is not an "excuse" to only run from the roll. Why do I say this, b/c I know guys that are TRUE street-racers (IMO) and can make 500+ whp damn near dead hook and proceed to roll out on your ass. These guys are a dying breed. On the flip side, cars that can leave hard from the dig on the street usually aren't very impressive on a prepped surface. You gotta pick your poison... I know some street guys that will NOT meet you at the track just for this reason... they've figured out how to set a car up for unprepped surfaces and don't want to change it up just to prove a point at the track.

Silly thread though - but I think that was by design.
if u want to race the driver, go to the race track with a bracket car. then it is a drivers race. roll-racing by design is a test of how fast the car is. most people are interested in which car is faster not who can drive better JMO. to each their own but when i race someone i want to know which car is faster.
