If you're not into drag racing and don't want to set your car up for it, it's much easier to race a car from a roll just to see whose is faster, without driver and rubber factors coming into play.

I don't know why everyone likes to get so tied up about it. "____ racing is GAY!" "Rolls are for pussies," "drag cars can't turn." Not everyone wants a drag car, and not everyone is good enough to go from a dig. If it makes you feel better about yourself because you got a 2-step, DRs and great launch practice, then fine, but calling someone names because they just want to compare engines is childish.
