Dig races or Roll races? What does your city mostly do?

I enjoy both but after 500rwhp, rolls are easier on parts and they help display the truly faster car (not skilled driver/traction), which to me, is the purpose of the race anyway. Mostly rolls around here.
I'll take both.
The ***** factor comes in when guys refuse to do one or the other. IMHO

I agree on people not doing one. But i refuse to roll anyone who cant at least half way dig.
I hear way to many people going " oh i won, would have won the dig expect tires..." Screw that noise.
"I dont roll, Ya Dig?"

I just get sick and tired of the asian guys in MS with big single turbos wanting to race my z06 from a 70 roll. And then they brag about how they pulled 2 cars on my STOCK Z06 so when I ask them to give me MY DIG RACE they act offended like How dare I ask for a Dig??? I am a ***** when it comes to racing I get it how I can take it.

I don't mind a dig race at the strip. I don't like a dig race on the street for a few reasons:
1-Usually you want to make it quick, stopping in the middle of the road doing a burnout and all that business that's just more time for a car to come or for a law man to see what your doing.
2- Usually on street tires on the street and it doesn't hook up very well. I can make it hook up but, it sucks having to pedal it that much.
3- Dig races are hard on parts, sure I go to the drag strip and beat on it but if you can do a roll race be easier on parts and not have any of the drawbacks above, that's what I'd rather do.
I'll take what I can get but if your just doing a friendly race with a friend, get nose to nose and wave them on or honk it off or however you want to do it and see who pulls who. As long as its fun who cares.

I agree. Unless I'm going from a stop light, im not a big fan of running from a dig. too many people live around here to line up on the road any time other than 3AM.

With that being said street racing is also illegal and will get your car impounded and you in jail. If you truly want to race you don't have any option that going to a track or go road racing, texas mile, etc.

I run the race that the car I called out wants. I'm not scared of either and think both are fun as hell. My car being a stalled auto can obviously dig well but I'm never one to turn down a roll. I'd say its 70% roll and 30% dig here. It's really difficult to hook up 600rwhp+ on the street without some prep on the road surface and all the dig spots get shut down within 30 minutes to an hour and only 4-5 races usually happen in that amount of time. We can roll around for hours and get in a number of runs a night. I love all of the bolt on or less auto cars I've seen on here calling roll racing gay and saying dig racing is where it's at.

+1. There are high HP cars that can hook, but for the most part, the guys who say "dig or nothing" are usually within 50 HP of stock and more often than not are automatics.

1) find a way to hook
2) Buy an auto
3) not whine when someone wont give you the nascar start
I am an auto. Not within 50 of stock. And im not giving anyone a roll who cant at least attempt a dig. Not my fault you cant hook.

I like both roll and dig. Imho rolls are fun I like big mph and rally haulin ***. As far as the skill factor I would say they are equal. The bad thing about roll racing is at 40 mph you hit it and you loose control your ****. But a dig hell you spin let out. Racing is fun nomatter what imho. Hell I manage to loose half my cars on forza 2 to my nephew.

Anyone that wants to have fun isn't gonna go drop their first 3-4K for parts in suspension and tires just to hook up their stock powered car. Not everyone races to get the label of "super serious hard *** street racer guy." I do dig or roll and just launch soft out of a dig. Some of you take this **** way too seriously.

Different strokes for different folks... it's all about having fun.

Dig racing is great...at the track. I like to see the timeslip after I finish to see what exactly happened on that run. Reaction time has alot to do with who wins a dig race. A mid 14 second car can pull a few carlengths to the 1/8th on a low 13 second car just by reacting fractions of a second faster.
A roll race 1st through 4th gear is usually a good indication of who has the faster car. Guys who race 80-160 are just crazy as hell.

After reading ALL of this I have decided if you want to see who has a faster car race from a 60 roll and drive it to the moon. If you want to see who is just straight faster run from a dig to the MPH that you trap. I think that if a person knows not how to launch his or her car then no matter what they do it should not be considered a race. Racing is Launching!!! The most important part of a 1/4 mile run is the 60ft.
