Default Which do you prefer?

I'm sure this has been done before, but not lately.
NOTE before I begin: e-racers need not post. I'm looking for speerance (experience)

Do you prefer to duel from a dig, or do you like a roll? If it's a roll, do you like the 20 punch or the 40?

I like all three for different reasons, and I'll let you know what they are in a bit. I do have a favorite, though.

i like dig the best. i feel like it is the best test of the car AND the driver. 40 rolls crap in my car so i hate them, but i dont mind a 20 or a 50 roll. in south florida geting a dig races is about as rare as having a 3 way with Jessica Alba and Christy Brinkley.

A dig is the best way to tell if the car and driver are set up right. Roll races don't really count in my book, sure they are fun kinda, but they don't really prove anything.

i am a dig person due to having my car setup for it. but i dont mind doing a roll cuz it is so hard to find a place to go from a dig. but a 20 roll on the bottle is fun in my car, all hook.

Im going to have to go with a dig, because much rather the track.

Now for a roll i would have to go 40, because it is just right for 3rd. haha I would still lose some traction though, on street tires
20 was ok for when I had stock gearing

I don't thing racing from a roll is really a race. I don't know of 1 drag strip in America that will let you get a 40MPH rolling start before the lights drop[]

But seriously, you are unique (so far as I know...) Congratulations.
