A little harmless run on the feeder could end up costing you your car! Too high of a risk imo. I'd love to hear what others think too.
well to tell you the truth, im not really ok with losing my car but then again who is? i dont see anything wrong with it if you are being safe about it, and you dont get caught...lol

Once you get your car to launch with both front wheels in the air, racing from a roll won't be nearly as fun as it used to be

Haha exactly, but regardless of how safe it is, they could take your car. Don't get me wrong - it would be extremely tough not to show a new vette who's boss if he were stalking me from light to light! But man ... its all fun and games until they take your car away

If it runs like your old coupe did years ago I'd believe you.
