Who cares if they like to roll race, thats what they wanted to do and obviously all agreed to race from a roll.
F that, put the whole combo to a test, go from a dig also. HP isn't the only thing that wins races, suspension and such plays a huge part as well.

Racing is racing weather from a roll or a dig, I do both, but it all starts from a stop. If you want to test the top end just go for a longer distance.

Roll Racing = Not Badass

ON two of the races they raced from a dig. The 07 chevy classic, raced once from a dig with the silver 00. Then BlackPearl (2 tone GMC) also raced the silver truck from a dig and put about 4 trucks on the guy. They raced from a 15 roll and BlackPearl put about 7-8 trucks on the other guy. Its worthless racing from a dig when all you do is spin 1-2 gear. Next time ill head out there maybe this Vortce Max guy wants to race a baby camm.

Not everyone has AWD/4wd, what is the point in racing on the street with street tires on an un-prepped surface all while making pretty decent HP seems kind of pointless to me. I agree people who put a bunch of power under the hood should take the proper steps to make them hook but not everyone can afford to link the rear end to make a truck hook on the street. Either way the people in the vid agreed to run from a roll so what does it really matter to you? And if you didnt notice atleast two of those races were from a dig or SLOW 5mph punch. How many high HP cars do you see racing from a dig on the street? None, its just hard and dangerous to race from a dig in a 2wd with some power on the street. Take it easy on the guys, they were just seeing who is the fastest NOT the quickest

There is a reason why I have a 4wd

And I said I do both as well, I was just making the point of your statement about HP not being the only factor. Which you agree with.

BTW, AWD owns all on the street

The first two were from a dig, the 2nd was from a complete stop.

thanks for the comments guys...over here we like to do all types of racing, all the stall guys like to race from 40-50mph due to traction problems. Now that I dont have a stall anymore, I agreed to dead stop racing but once I hit my power band at around 3000rpm I did a crazy smoke show and stilll passed the guy while doing it. The other chevy truck didnt have problems cus he was using drag radials.
