ATTENTION GUYS
NEXT YEAR PETE’S SHUT DOWN MPH WILL BE 130, NOT 120 ANYMORE!
pete needs to work on his fucking slowdown, not his shutdown
Ill put 100+ down for a dig this spring. It will be a 4cyl honda with turbz.
haha yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa about that
The point is Eddy is an old school racer… Carbed and all. The idea between a race was more than HP when viewed as a “sport”. Its reaction time, pedal feel, knowing when to steer, hold, lift and so on. Running from a roll, most old schoolers view its a dumbing down the sport. The skill of suspension set up is almost out of it… Automatics are greatly disadvantaged, thus making variable so different in so many way… tarnishing the sport of drag racing… in some peoples eyes.
Personally, i think its best on a twisty track, or drifting…Digs i think are more legit than rolls … but Im also of a slightly different generation… though I think of my car as anything but a drag car.
I view roll racing as “the last chance to race”… Nothing else was available… no tracks, twisty or straight… no spot… no nuttin… just a simple “Let’s Roll”.
don’t get me wrong i love dig racing, its the only true drag race and roll racing is a last chance like you said, but what ed and others from your generation also have to consider is people from our generation haven’t exactly had a free run at the extension like back in the day and dig runs have always been very difficult to arrange trouble free in a safe place. roll racing is just usually an easier and safer way to race. as for dig races test and tune, and track days are where we bring our A game imo, and that would be the ideal place to setup a proper race. as you can see we have a lot of 10 second import street cars in the area, and they are getting quicker every year.
besides RT which is obviously important, the driver isnt doing much with a tubbed out automatic 1/4 mile machine from a dig either. it takes a lot of work to dial in the car suspension wise to run good no doubt, but driving it isnt very hard. get the car on the transbrake and press a button/just gun it from the stall. the tires are so big the cars dead hook out of the hole so theres no pedaling.
that would NEVER happen. period.
lol wtf drifting out of nowhere
ya cant use the not bein able to use the ext card , plain and simple its there and was used a lot this yr and yrs past . ya just have to do it at the right times and so on , no im not sayin it was u involved in the hotlapping and so on at 10 at night but many others on this site were . and word of mouth from the younger than us generation is what got the way it is . i ran my car a few times there with no problems ,exc when pjb was next to me when i did a quick no2 pass next him and i got busted , buttttt i was cool to the cop and told him a semi legit story and got let go . point is everyone has there idea of a race , have i done rolls ? yeah as that was sometimes the only way a pussy would race my car :ahh and so on .
we know where hes coming from, we all understand but its like walking into a pizza shop and demaning they make u a cake! this dude got all uppity for no reason and started calling everyone pussys because they didnt want to dig him when its 40 deg out at most, after their cars have been packed away and for $100!!! thats just not how we roll around here, no pun intended. so until he understands that and how to treat people with some respect, he wont be welcome here by most. thats how i look at it anyways.
e-man . he was pushin buttons man , he rattled cages and thats what its about sometimes lolol . its about time we got someone else in here that is like a diehard street car as we were all starting toi do the roll bullshit , christ even adam and i did a few rolls this yr lol , YESS EDDIE , ADAM 94GT50 DID ROLL RACES MAN .
When your car has no motor in it, EVERY race is a roll race.
from this post i can see you have never owned anything with any power.your retarded if you think a 9 sec car is easy to launch on the street.ya just let go of the button and away you go lolol:crazy you have no clue as to what power is if you think you just dead hook and go.
ooooooo he went there
first off i dident demand shit
i put the $$ offer up with my rules
take it or leave it
i dident start saying shit till wayyyyyy after i caught 3 pages of bashing
instead every roll racer in the forum jumps down my throat
eddie you caught 3 pages of bashing because you suck bad with basic human communication skills on the internets
was one of the worst ways to open a topic up that i’ve seen since rapehatch93 haha
He had like a 700whp Honda Eddie…
You guys gotta give Ed a break and let him know what you have/have had so he doesn’t assume everyone is just running junk.
my bad i did kinda mabey sorta kinda try to ruffle some feathers.
im sorry:hug
besides that hello all im ed from the cohoes area!
I drive a drag car with giant tires and a HUGE motor
i sense passive agressive import vs domestic tension… watch it numba1 honda guys is going to put big turbz and come after you!
