i'm all for dig racing. the only times i've ever street raced was from a stop at a red light. i also suck from a dig. as most of you know it's hard to keep the tires from spinning with any kind of power. when my car had a 3.15 rear gear i had a hard time spinning the wheels. i beat a few cars that where a lot faster because they spun and i hooked. now that i have a hard time hooking. i need to learn some skill to be quick.
put me is a low 10's car and i would run 11's or 12's. i just don't have the skills yet. i fall asleep at the light and spin like mad.
i'd rather lose to a slower car with a better driver than to roll race and win. drag racing isn't only about how fast your car will go. it's about your skill as a driver. that's why bracket racing is so huge. you don't have to have a fast car you just have to be a good driver. but a quick car does make it a lot more fun.
for me the best part of drag racing is the launch, first gear and feeling second slam. i feel roll racing takes 99% of the fun out of racing.
