Both cars have a large fan base. Flash agrees to run whatever. Why doesn't the train? Its all about fun. Just RACE already.

Train is already setting up the excuse for if he lost from a dig... "WELL YOU HAVE PROEFI TRACTION CONTROL"... even if they only raced from a dig win or lose flash would have lost because thats what train would hide behind. So I could see why flash would request both runs

So.. Roll racing is a show of HP and not how well the car is actually built? Is that what we are getting at? Or how well the driver can drive?

Just trying to figure out what the big fuss is about?

I cant speak for these two but what I can say is that friends I have at this power level require suspension changes depending on if they are dig racing or roll racing. X amount of clicks on the shocks,anti roll bar pre-load,etc,etc,etc!!! Every car is different and every street surface is different..

I would go out on a limp and say that flash knows his car is faster then train. But doesnt want to go through the headache of making all the changes for 1 race when he can run mutiple roll races with others at a ROLL RACE EVENT.

Train even posted somewhere that Flash's car is a 8.3X car..which is why he doesnt want to run him on a track.

Well I was unaware that he already admitted the car is faster then his. If that is the case the Flash would be the person you should leave alone. I know on the street anything can happen. Unfortunately Flash isn't going to give him the race he wants. I agree with Train that roll racing is gay as hell. But unlike him I don't participate in it at all. They are using the fact that he does it from time to time against him which is stupid. A race of this magnitude yeah, I'd want a real race and that is a dead stop race.
Flash could always stick his neck out there and see if he could beat the car from a dig. If he does, then is there really a reason to run from a roll when he already admitted he can't mess with the car?
Just sayin

Roll racing is strictly a hp race. Car with more power wins. If you think differently you are a retard. Fr8train, 4 bolt headed motor, flash lsx 6 bolt heads. Who makes more power? Lol.
