Going from a "dig" takes a lot more in terms of driver reaction times and driving skill, and it requires that the car work better overall. The suspension and drivetrain have to be properly chosen/modified for racing, and the proper tires must be used.
If people dont like to drag race, and they choose not to modify their cars "properly" to drag-race, there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to go do power-to-weight comparisions from a 40, 60, 70 MPH rolls, thats fine. But, in my opinion, and the point cobra is making is that its not "street racing."
I admit its difficult to find someplace to run "from a dig," and most people end up doing rolls these days, but in reality, most people use that as an excuse more than anything.
Overall, this arguement is over semantics, and its a matter of how you look at it.
