Still blowes my mind why everyone waists there time with roll racing!?!? It should have the name changed to waisting time. To incorperate racing into this rediculous activity is a discrace to the word.

You certainly have a nice car but go race it like it should be not this hiway roll racing ****.

God quite crying!!! You do you and let them do them. Whats it matter if they are dig racing or roll racing. Its still a competition of speed and power. There is not any money riding on it. Just guys having some fun.

I would just rather see your very nice car run like it meant to be. In a race that takes some skill and is entertaining. Not saying I won't race someone on the hiway but I certainly would never plan it.

The only way drag racing takes skill, is when the cars have manual transmissions and they have a foot pedal to control the clutch, a stalled automatic is the definition of no skill drag racing.

Nope no spray on either of us. @35 he said he spun a little bit. The rest of the runs were kinda hit and miss with me either missing a gear or him missing a gear. Even in the 3 way runs I missed both times. I'm gonna have to change the fluid in the tranny, and flush out the hydraulic fluid to see if it helps, we'll re-run next week.
