It didn't ask if you street race, it just asked a preference IF you had this choice in a race.

If I ever raced on the street, I guess I'd be willing to do a run from a roll if only just to quiet the bitching AWD guys get, but I don't like the concept of roll racing. The highest technique required in a roll race is brake boosting in a turbo car, and shifting quickly in a manual tranny car. That's it.
Hah, and yet people took me seriously when I jokingly suggested roll races at the track. Ah well .

I agree that it probably takes more skill to race from a stop. I'll admit I cannot launch for shit, mainly because I haven't had much practice at all. I said I would prefer to race from a roll because it would be in my best interest seeing how my car sits right now (bald rear tires). Who wouldn't pick what would make them more likely to win?

Shes only 17, not even legal yet...

Not really big and bad. Not even running 5 pounds either. Just because I have a car and it just so happens to be a Supra with mods suddenly its big and bad?

I said my LSD, engine, and back wheels agree because they agree I'm a fag after practicing getting up an incline.

Just curious. I know you're a Supra owner, but a NA Supra owner. The main reason Supra owners are veiwed as "roll racers only" is because they have a big t88 single turbo, that has plenty of lag. Being that your car is NA, wouldn't you prefer a dig race? If not, then why do you prefer a roll race?
