never said i was a great driver i went down there with my buddies to have fun, first time at the track with a stick. im not mad i have a 15 second car it makes it all the sweeter when i beat up on the 13 second cars that are supposed to be faster
See that's where your thinking is totally off. You not beating 13 second cars, yea you might take them from a high MPH roll but that is not racing, it's just fooling around on the street. Either way I really could care less, I have not see one Cobalt at the track or anywhere else that I need to worried about.
This statement it TOTALLY correct!!!! A race should involve some type of skill other than speeding and shifting gears. That's why the NHRA, SCCA, NASCAR haven't adopted a straight line roll race.[&:]

they do if your on the road and soem guy wants to run but you can't catch a light. i like roll racing better because you won't attract as much attention becuase you are not usually squeeling your tires
No it's because your FWD is handicaped from a dig. You are always saying how your car traps so well and yet you were racing on a 1/4 mile track where ET's matter. You say that first and second gear is nearly useless at the track, so they are not much good on the street either, do you race from a 50 mph roll or higher. I am not trying to be a dick but all this talk about roll showing what CAR is better is just BS in my eyes. A well setup car will run from a dig pretty easy, plus it's always been about the total package, the car PLUS the driver. Roll racing has only recently become popular due to all the FWD cars people are modding. Sorry man I've always been a drag racer and roll racing is just not real racing.
I agree with you wholeheartly. But we all know that on the open highway starting from a dead stop is'nt exactly smart..lol

I think a roll run has been around since the first divided highways started popping up.......It's the ricers that coin the word "roll race" and have perfected it......lol

thank you Bluebeast, I was waiting for some back up! It is true, a 15 second car, can easily beat a 13 second car. Although he did say that, it is totally true thata Stang V6 would be utterly destroyed by a Cobalt SS. What's done is done. Bluebeast, any tips on how WHINE can get his times up?
I got one. Instead of going back to that drag strip, go to Milan. I'm almost certain that its a much better track.

No one cares about the dyno numbers or the damn trap. Those numbers only reveal what your car could potentially do. The true overall test of performance is the 1320. It weighs overall performance and driver capability.

Learn to launch his car. A front driver is harder to launch but not impossiable. Sounds like he spends to much time roll racing and not enough on the launch. If his car does actually trap 85 thru the 1/8 like he brags about it should be a low 13 second car.

I would smoke you fool! We allready know my car accelerates faster than yours between the 1/8 and 1/4 mile points and that was before I added 4.10 gears (we don't even want to mention how long it took you to go 1/8 mile). No need to roll race, we have the proof in your time slips. Now from a dig it wouldn't even be a race. I'm adding a 75hp shot of nitrous in the next few months just for fun, which would make your car a waste of my time.
