Think roll racing is stupid? They've made it even more specific

It all stems from then the M5 driver tried the pass the E55 AMG on the autobahn, they started racing from a roll. So what, let people get their jollys how they want as long as they are not killing anyone. No reason for us to look down on it. We all are guilty. Like none of us have ever mashed the throttle on the highway before.

A lot of roll racing, in street racing, comes about because racing from a dig there is more time for a cop to spot you and pull you over, and also if you're on the highway it makes it way easier to potentially uhh run away

That is exactly why alot of guys roll race nowadays. To risky to race from a dig on the street...

I cruise out every weekend with a variety of different cars, but mostly stangs, vettes, & camaros, & believe me, there are more American cars out roll racing in my town than ricers & euro cars...

Cant deny that i havent been guilty of it myself, & Im sure although most of the people on this site wont admit it, but Im sure alot of u guys are guilty of it too... (not directed towards u in particaular Benny, i was just using your quote)

Dont get me wrong though, street racing can be very dangerous.....

don't get me wrong, im not saying roll racing is wrong (although funny sometimes). But it's crazy to judge a car's performance based on one flattering stat

I hear ya on that... That is pretty ghey... I want my car to be good in all aspects, drag, road course, & u can say even roll racing....

its definately more common in the last 1-2 years to see people racing from a roll.. i am sure that this is because of the additional police presence during popular "meet" nights. a few years ago and earlier, we used to be able to go to a street, "track" (it would be a rural street, sometimes in industrial business areas, with no other civilians around) and the amount of cars would range from just a few to 25+. we would be able to stay their and run cars from 11pm to 2-3 am with no police presence. if the police did come, they would ask if everything was safe, "yessir" and the cops would be on their way. i would pretty much always watch and never run, but for the most part, it was kept mature, responsible and safe. nowadays, with the same conditions, the cops come out and break things up 5 mins in, sirens and everything, ticketing etc...
great advantage of going from a roll is its much more mobile and harder for police to predict what stretch of freeway you are on, especially if their are several freeways to choose from..
alot of ricers etc, will also complain and cry about getting a bad launch, missing gears and wanting to run again, which is very much minimized in a roll race. (what they should really practice is getting used to the fact that they cant launch worth **** no matter how well they launch)
but overall i believe, u make a race car to be best at as many things as possible, dig, roll, autox, road course etc.. versatility is key.

Roll racing is fun too. I like testing the cars performance out also.

Check out my youtube vids. Please only check out the track vids. Disregard the roll race vidsl.lol
