What's the point. Why not go to a dyno and see who can "out dyno" each other. Then, you can have a drifting competition. Winner receives Fast and Furious Trilogy and pays for Whataburger. Who's in?!

My fav race is a 1st gear roll, I don't wanna break my rear trying to race from digs. But I do agree 80mph is semi gay, 1st or 2nd gear is the way to go...

you are missing a key point here. Pick your races wisely. If your car is a 1000 hp independent rearend car on radials, race against similar cars. I'm not suggesting these guys race against 10-pt caged drag cars. Of course those drag cars will win from a dig. I'm suggesting that both of these IRS rearend radial 1000 hp cars run from a dig. The better driver could overcome a lower dynojet sheet.
It would be FAR more interesting to see a race between these two cars from 0 to 150, than it would be from 80-180. Otherwise, just rent both dynos at HPE and line them up side by side and see who hits 1000 rwhp first.
Yeah, that last comment sounds ridiculous, but so does racing starting at 80 mph.

So, I suppose by your reasoning, these cars should never be driven under 80 mph at any time? It's going to be kind of hard to find a towing trailer with a quick release, or a push vehicle that can get them up to 80 mph before they are allowed to 'drive' them.
Cars are meant to go from a stop. They have to stop several times each time they are driven. You won't spin if you can CONTROL your throttle and drive with skill. If you are an idiot and floor a 1000 hp car off the line, you deserve to lose.

But what is a 1000rwhp 3200 pound car gonna do from 0mph, nothing but lose control and shred tires, basically whoever spins worse is gonan lose, and thats not very fun to do or watch.
Do you honestly feel that you cannot control a 1000 hp car's throttle? Hmmm.... 10% open throttle would only be a 100 hp car, right? Those seem to take off without spinning the tires just fine. Ask any Honda guy

hell with 1k hp on the tires they can still shredd them at 80
I could shred them with 470 at 80, i dont see why they cant.
take skill not to, so why not go from a low roll at the least.
I used to do some roll racing, but it waslow rolls, I dont care to go 140+.
just me though, to each his own i guess.

if you cant drive your car you sure the hell dont need 1000hp. Any guy with money can build a high hp car they cant drive. Dont be a ***** and take it to the track before you kill someone! or if you really wanna see how good of a driver you are, than take it to a road course and run each other heads up a few laps!!!
