well roll racing is a way for talentless drivers to race thier cars in my opinion and ask any rice rod to race and they will ask you 20 30 or 45 roll??? it is ricer i hate seeing videos of bad *** cars doing nothing but roll racing... i take it your a roll racer?

as far as the video editing i didn't edit it or insert ne of that my boy did... and the police in our area troll the local boards and try and track down cars so we mock them...

Roll or from a dig,whatevers available It's all good.

Nice kills and death. Your car is pretty quick.

Roll or dig doesn't matter. Like SmacknaSS said, whatever is available. He was obviously having traction problems off the line. That's why he wanted to try you from a roll. Nothing wrong with that.

actually i told him hey on our way back do you want to get your win.. i'll roll you from 40... traction was an issue for both of us... i just didn't try launching hard as hell both times just the first lol... i went from a 3500 launch to a 2250 launch... i didn't check but his buddy said he was running nitto drag radials... im on KDWS

and thanks on the quick car comment... thats my last race next week i'm putting on my patriot heads pulling the hot cam and putting in a custom grind and hookin up my 150 shot... also clutch, flywheel, master, slave, out put shaft and CF driveshaft... then i guess i'll have to get it caged for the track

Because that's the main avenue of racing for rice. Where have you been for the last 5 years? Nice kill, nice to see a modded C5 puttin the hammer down.

What were you shifting at on those runs? Sounds like you were driving the hell out of it...I was impressed. Cobras are nothing to take lightly...

So I take it you are the type of racer that uses the traction excuse then huh?

Roll-races pretty much show which car is faster and not the driver. So even if you did beat someone from a dig and you win only due to being a better driver and they obviously have a faster car, then they still have a faster car, period. It sounds like you are the ricer here. For the record, I would much rather run from a dig.

Besides, when anyone (if anyone) posts up about losing to an Evo or STi from a dig, theres always someone that chimes in, "well you would have gotten him from a roll".

Anyway, good kill, your car definitely rolls out!

Good runs man

as for style of racing, either way is fine with me, its pretty hard to set up races from a dig where I am at, but roll racing is convenient and easy to get a bunch of quick runs in... I still prefer to go from a dig, but I dont frown upon going from a roll...

definately he makes more power. but your aerodynamics win out top end as seen in the first two. and "traction" is a overall car issue that needs to be addressed. No excuses right?

I was impressed when he got even and pulled.

good kills/runs.. nice video/cars.

Racing is fun to me...period...whether it be from a dig or a roll. It doesn't really
matter to me which. I'm prepared for both. It's not always that easy to run from
a dig. What if you're on the highway. Most races I come across are impromptu so
the situation dictates if it's from a roll or a dig.

Cool vid.

Your car definately rolls out. You out drove him in the dig races and the faster car prevailed in the roll fun.

Nice races though!

Nice runs, too bad traction is so hard to find. Why was the vid shut down as soon as he pulled you? The ricer statement was gay too.


Oh, and ditch the hotcam. Way better cams man.

good kill and I agree with above^ditch the hotcam quick, I prefer racing from a dig...I enjoy WATCHING roll racing. and the cobra really impressed me from the roll when he caught up and pulled away.
