They call me the Pillsbury Doughboy cuz I always go from a roll. wrd.
In Houston I can get both rolls or digs. I don't really care too much. When I had a Honda I always did rolls because, well, it's a Honda.
Mmmm, rollsss! NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM!
Dennis, not sure where you get off calling other people hicks for not roll racing. I live in a fairly decent size town (Raleigh, NC) and although you can't always go from a dig due to traffic, road conditions, etc... trust me, there are PLENTY of opportunities to go from a dig. You're a little out of line telling the rest of the nation how its done. I will run from a roll, do it all the time as a matter of fact. But damn, if you boys are organized enough to trailer in Non-DOT legal vehicles, it seems like you could at least organize a time and place to do it right and go from a dig. To each their own, I guess.

not to mention up here in MI/OH the only thing that makes a car not street legal is it's tires.... and even that is very lenient, I see front runners and steam rollers being ran all the time on woodward during the summer

I street race and have for a long time. Its done from a roll or not done at all around here. I dont live in the middle of no where like some of you hicks. Around here people actually drive on the highways so trust me you would look retarded stopping on the damn road to race. We arent your usual bunch of dumb high school kids. I am talking people bringing in cars on trailers that arent street legal. This is highly organized. I dont need or want anyone here's respect, but IMO, and I entitled to one. Drag racing is from a dig, Street Racing is from a roll end of story. Look into Ohio street racing and you would understand. Jegs HQ in Ohio, Summit HQ in Ohio, Fox Lake in Ohio, MPH in Ohio, Modular Depot 10 mins outside of Ohio, Cincy Speed in Ohio, Numerous NHRA, IHRA tracks, racing isnt a joke here. It has nothing to do with driver skill its how its done here if you dont like it you dont race.

I'm in Pensacola and the people around here race both ways to find out different things. When they want to know who has the faster car they roll race on the interstate about 30,40 - 150,160. When they want to know who's the better driver they race from a dig

I used to like Dennis until i read this post lol. Saying roll racing is the only way to go was a bad move on his part...and sayin we all don't know how to race because there are drag strips and motorsport companies in our states??? Thats kinda lame...i don't think he thought about it.
But i like bluebeast's point...how much roll racing is done at a DRAG STRIP!?!?!
Oh well...OP...don't heat street tires, it has a negative affect more then beneficial. Just like everyone said, start out around 2K and move up from there if you can. And PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE...thats all it is.

as in... if it's 40 degrees out and there is front on the grass.... I'm thinking you should spin them just a tad... not enough heat to start warming up a DR... but just enough to get the stiffness out of the rubber... at least IMO
also, I agree with not doing an 100% full fledged DR burnout but no matter what tire you are running I think you should spin your tires before the race just to dust off any debris dirt/mud/snow/slush/rocks that would otherwise rob you of contact surface... every little bit helps
