camaro Kid. Going from a dig doesn't mean anything. There are more excuses from a dig than there would be from a punch. Doing a 30 or 40 punch would clearly show who had more power. Have you ever been in a front wheel drive car, that is pushing in excess of 400hp? Anyway, they where on the freeway so it would pretty dumb to stop in the middle of it.
Are you serious? If your not auto-xing, going from a dig is everything. Have you ever heard the term "drag racing"?

Your one funny guy, 25psi.

You dont get my point do you? I highly doubt either one of them at the time where setup with slicks,vht, or any other typical form of dig racing. Would you want to run an all wheel drive car in the rain? Thats basically what a front wheel drive car is with 400+hp. Like I previously said, going from a punch would better suit there situation at the time.(hint freeway run)

No actually i had my DR's on because when i go out I expect to be going from a dig because thats all there is to race from. We went way outta the way to race on the highway. But now the kid is talking mad **** about how he beat me so bad. The second time we raced I beat him if he wants to get technical about it because he missed a gear. Little bitch. My cam clutch and 150 shot go in this week so next time i will show him whats up

That'll fix your little problem. Hand him his ***. Tell him not to be a bitch and race from a dig like a man.

Well I can see if you build a car to be fast from a roll if you do a lot of freeway driving and you get most or all of your races there. Otherwise from a dig is the best.

I guess you've got a point. But I've never heard of any pro leagues for "roll racing" or anything like that. If I had a FWD car that was great from a roll like that, i'd probably set it up to be a wicked auto-x car... which most of the people with those crazy hondas probably do.

This time do a few things differently.

First. Have ALOT of people there. Get all of his friends, a bunch of yours, etc to come out.

Next. Run from a dig. No excuses, THAT is what a drag race is. For once 25psi is correct, that a highway roll WILL show you whose car has more power ... but thats not what racing is about. Racing is the whole package, car + driver + traction etc.

If he doesn't want to race you from a roll, call him a ***** 100 times until he either folds, or tells everyone how badly he beat you from a roll, and that your just scared to do it again.

As soon as he says that, jump on it. Be like "okay, fine then ... we'll go from a roll"

Make sure your bottle is nice and hot and Start the race at like 4,000 rpms of second gear rolling ... tell him your going to race to like 100-120ish.

Have everyone watching as you spray the **** outta him. (btw, no 150 shot ... maybe 100 or so would be PLENTY)... you dont want to hurt your car with all those people watching, especially since you wont have the chance to get used to the nitrous in less then a week.

Watch him vanish in your rearview as you wave, and everyones watching. Bragging rights for you forever.

haha ... I already have this dirtbag who drives the spitting image of the car you have described. He says it runs 10's ... but I have beaten him a half dozen times on motor ... and unless he has a really strong tailwind, he's running low - mid 12's at best.

For some reason he cannot produce a track slip either ....

I dont like to even race from a 25 mph roll much less a 50 mph roll But anyways maybe you wouldve spanked him silly if you raced him from a dig or 10 mph or something.

How fast did you go in the first race..... If room permits a 150mph run may benifit you, but you would have to spray 5th. Don't know if that bothers you?
