Whats a good mph to roll race with an auto. I have 4,10s and at some mphit seem like it takes alot longer to get going than other mph..??

 

What an oxymoron....roll and race....

 

I wouldn't consider it a real race either, takes no skill, especially with an auto.

 

in an auto i think if its your rolling at 20 or 25 or something...that when i am able to chrip 2nd...lolI cant even chirp from a dig

 

I would de driving around for hours to get lucky enough to catch some 1 from a light. Ill take a roll race if thats all i can get

 

Driving around trying to run random people from a rolling start = extreme riceness.

 

how long have you been driving your car, that you cannot feel where the ideal launch point is from a roll?

you want to get it at a point in, say second gear, that when you hammer it down youre going to have it kick back into 1st gear. if youre going too fast for it to kick down to first, its going to take the time for the rpm's to climb into the peak power range, which would take less time if you were going a little slower, thus allowing it to drop back into first..this is true for all gears.

i was in indy with my bmw a few years back on the highway that leads into the city, and it was like the fast and the furious..ricers rolling up on me, flashing their underbody neons in what MUST have been stock economy cars, because the bmw was only good for 15s, and it walked away from at least two cars.

 

sounds right when u follow it up with the phrase "10-bolt" [&:]

 

Why is that?? A roll is THE ONLY way to display POWER.. From is good if everything goes well for both racers.. Or you will hear about traction issues and Blah Blah Blah.. What issues do you have from a roll.. Missed a gear that's it!! The faster car ALWAYS wins from a roll not so from A dig.. I'll take it from a roll anyday!!

 

At this point, I'd take any race I can get. It's been ages since I've raced anybody at all. This area SUCKS for races. [:'(]
