Drew, you work soo much to not have time to go to the track but you have time to roll around chasing races from a roll??? Damn I wish I had that much free time…

Your either going to get caught by the police or your going to kill someone. Keep the Fast and the Furious crap for the movies! That is why they have drag strips and autocross for a reason.
I cant speak for others, but as for myself…just like when you and k20 went at it on a open highway at night, thats how I roll…no traffic playing. Thats dumb.

wow, you really do not know anything about me at all.
You will NEVER see me driving around. The “roll races” are setup, and performed late at night (rt can explain to you how it works)
I Dont drive around looking for races LOL. I have a life to live and money to make…Not burn rubber and waste gas.

I just don’t consider roll racing real racing. There are too many variables in it. You don’t always start at the same time, might not be in the best gear and different cars perform better from different speeds depending on where their power comes in. At the track, all variables are thown out.

> Just not the right place to be talking about my worse time I’ve ran, trying to get my truck to hook and run right… It’s like me coming on here next April when you guys have a bad run and run a 14 sec pass cause u missed a shift or blew a clutch… And I don’t know why you guys keep talking about a roll… I take my truck to the track to drag race and going for 10’s… So you wanna go from a roll like 20??? Or 80??? I made 646hp/668tq on a awd dyno, do you guys think it doesn’t move from like 60??? Youthink it just tanks??? I don’t understand where everyone is coming from, my rear end will be in for next track season and I will run a 150 shot too… Similar set ups with less power and a rear run consistent 10.8 without spray…
and you think my car with 600.8rwhp that weighs 3440lb’s should run 13’s?

Very true! Especially when you have something as built as you have! Drag racing is brutal on a car! That’s why you see so many issues at the track…saw at least 6-8 cars rolled off the track this weekend at ATCO and I wasn’t even watching that much, so I’m sure there were plenty more. Just the nature of having expensive rides that go that fast…things are bound to break with that much abuse over time.

Why build a 600hp car and run nitrous not to break things??? I have goals like I said before, and that’s to get a 10 second slip… Your goal is to be fast on the highway from 80… Nothing wrong with that… Like i said before, it’s a drag car… I dunno where the whole go from a roll thing came in…

lol No 80 rolls here.
20-40-60. Depending on the night and if traction likes me.
and the next things to break, costs thousands to fix. I would like to avoid this as much as possible.

I’m in the same boat, rear costs minimum 6k installed… I’d love to go from a roll down low when it’s installed, you’d be surprised…

With my nt05s, it will spin hard especially with cold roads from 20-40 rolls…
