And a lot of people roll race through more than one gear, so you still have to know how to drive, you just dont have to deal with no traction (usually) when roll racing.

I like the dig BECAUSE you have to fight for traction. In a street race or any race for that matter I don't want the faster car, I want the one that I can get to the finish line first. Not to say that I won't still roll race the random idiot messing with me on the highway, because I will, just saying I think my abilities as a driver should be a contribution to my winning just as much as my ability to own a quick car. And in respect of the trying not to break stuff, 1) If you are that afraid of breaking something maybe you should reconsider racing in any form; running any engine close to redline will certainly not do it any favors, along with the many other things that could break/wear out faster under WOT. 2) Having a M6 car means you are naturally at a high risk for breaking things in your drivetrain, driving a M6 means making the judgement of whether to bang through the gears to gain a few tenths of a sec. or going a little bit easier and trying to maintain the integrity of your drivetrain. Not trying to offend any roll racers just MHO.

On the street I prefer low rolls. I'll do a dig, but my 2step is set to accommodate a well prepped surface. On the street I'll blow the tires off from a dig, which usually ends up being lots of wheel hop.
Street = Rolls, but I'll run at the track too.

Then again, 95% of the racing I've done has been from a roll due to circumstances (it being a spur of the moment kinda thing).

dig racing. in my opinion racing is more than who has the faster car but whos the better driver. a roll is cool if its spur of the moment but if its set up dig. and to those who are afraid of dig racing due to your weak 10 bolts maybe you should have though about upgrading your rear before putting 400+ horse to your cars.
