Actually, yes. Roll racing, while fun, is for pussies who can't drive.

There, I said what everyone has been thinking.

That's really a load of crap and only applies to some people. I can cut a light and a 60' as good as most anyone I've race with, but I rarely do it. Most people who only roll race are doing b/c it's fun and very easy on parts. When the car is constantly in the shop or waiting for you to fix it from broken drive-line parts it really cuts into the fun factor of the hobby.

Absolutely! Put some 19's on your car, like mine, and lets do it! You name the place, time, money! I'm always down to race!

Stop thinking you are some type of internet sheriff, I reply how I feel like. I could care less who you are or what your car does, both don't bring me any first hand benefits. Maybe you feel embarassed because you were video taped getting it pushed in, don't worry it happens to everyone who races at one point or another. You don't have to get offended, I didn't quote you or specifically say it was you..
