In general most import drag racing cars are stick cars but the coment was more towards stick cars in general really.

My motto is if you can't hook then thats your problem. I even di raced with my last car that would not hook, it was mor about who could get traction faster. When you have roll races with auto cars your pretty much elimenate the driver ability. From a dig if its a stick or auto you never eliminate it completley.

Im not afraid of a roll race, if I remember right I have yet to lose one on the motor alone even.

Just don't roll race these days. From a stop you don't have to listen for horns or worry if the two cars are lined up perfect and you don't see roll racing at NHRA and IHRA events.

The way I see it I have a larger stall, suspension, and stickies for a reason

To each his own.

And like I said drag racing is from a dig and I dont dispute that. I just like roll races because to me it shows the power of the car not the traction. Ill need the traction though if Im going to be competitive in some of the money races. A Cobra rear end maybe in the works for the ol 240.

That Civic was stupid quick. As far as reliable goes, maybe you haven't been to the track lately. It even sounded good IMO.

Don't hold me to it, but I'm pretty sure I saw it run 10's last year at BB... I'm pretty sure they said he was pushing around 420 fwhp or so.

If your see me coming Mekkadon just pull over lol j/k Im looking forward to seeing some nice cars.

Also to the guy about hooking is part of racing. Not all cars come with a solid axe from factory hince why I prefer roll racing. Plus ill say again roll race shows power of cars not traction. Power of the vehicals is what I am impressed by.

There 2 or 3 guys in Northern DE that have massive turbo civics and they crank out 500+whp and run 10's easy. Those things are stupid fast.
