drag race
–noun a race between two or more automobiles starting from a standstill, the winner being the car that can accelerate the fastest.

unless there are turns included, a real drag race is from a stop.

 

races from a roll are far more common because that is usually the only way you can race on the street. how often do you come to a light where both cars have an open lane and it's a red light? not to mention if you race from a dig you will attract way more attention to yourself......so unless you are racing at the track, make sure your car can go from a dig or a roll and you will never have a problem.

 

True but for me. I have been getting first inline On tampa rd. But then again its dumb to even race on that road too many cops. But yeah rolls are common. I want to go to the track and test stock.

 

come on out to bmp on thurs tnt 5/31.

 

It's easier to race from a roll on the street than from a dig. Nuff said

 

this is one of those arguments that will never die. there are plenty of AWD and RWD cars that only race from a roll, its not only FWD. there are many variables you have to consider. some people dont have the time/money/need/want to set their car up for drag. people with the advantage will always bitch about people with a disadvantage. i dont have a problem racing from a dig, as long as you give me a roll in return.

 

i totally agree

 

i rather race in reverse

 

The only thing I hate is when someone with a car that doesn't hook for shit from a dig, beats you from a roll and then they talk shit.
