No offence intended Lazer, but perhaps it is you that hasn’t read all of the posts on the page!?!

Going from a dig has always been the staple of both a cars performance and driver skill. Roll racing was brought about over the last few years by a bunch of kids driving 4-cylinder cars or moms grocery getter that couldn't make it to 60mph before the next light and has only bled over into the high performance crowd because it seems to be the “trendy” thing to do. Not to mention the fact that no skill is involved, so anyone can do it. Roll racing ensures that everybody can be a rock star, not just the guys with legitimate performance cars, who’ve grown to respect their power and know exactly how and when to ring out their potential. I mean…why would these guys drag race from a stop? Where's the fun in racing if nobody can tell you're doing it right? Going from a high speed roll ensures that these guys reached near triple digit speeds (and beyond for the higher horsepower rides) like the big boys in the V8 crowd with a little torque and horsepower do, before having to shut it down. On top of that, it seems that going from a roll also shows no clear winner. These guys go until one of them decides to shut down...whether it be ¼ of a mile…. ½ a mile, or whenever one of these retards starts losing their nerve because of the speeds that some of these guys travel.

Last I checked a race required a finish line? Going from a roll requires nothing....and on top of that proves nothing. It doesn’t prove a vehicles performance potential, it doesn’t prove drivers skill and it doesn’t prove which car or driver is king of the hill! And on top of that, it’s even more dangerous than a legitimate drag race.

Hasn’t anyone noticed the amount of street racing deaths has escalated exponentially over the last few years? It’s kinda funny….guys with faster cars than your latest crop of 1-4’s have been drag racing from light to light since the 60’s, yet it hadn’t become an all out epidemic until the last 5-10-years….right around the time that this “roll racing” fad hit the streets and became popular with the teenagers. The even funnier thing is, that 90% of the wrecks you hear about are low performance cars like Honda Civics, Neon’s, Sunfires and the like that haven’t got the suspension or brakes to handle these high speeds, or halt their little econo-boxes down from 100+mph like the real “sports cars” do. Coincidence….I think not!!!

I’m just waiting for the new “drifting” fad to start taking a few lives. That’ll be a whole new line of trouble for car enthusiasts.
