I work. I have a dog to take care of. I have a life outside of the car scene. I can't afford to just go drive around right now. If I were still in college, maybe. I can't just head out during the night and drive around. Believe me, I would love to, but not at the scarification of sleep that could possibly affect my job performance. And unfortunately pick up races just don't seem to find me on the highway. And I surely won't do it in traffic out of the safety of others.

I'm dense? Haha. Funny. Why not just say "feel the car" to begin with?

I drive the car daily. I have a good feel for the car. I'm not going to race it everywhere though, and most of the time I'm on the road is when I'm coming home from work, or have other passengers with me, of which I really don't race when that happens, unless I know the passenger doesn't mind. I don't just get in, drive to work, then get out. I do have fun with it and drive it hard sometimes. But a lot of the time I'm not in a good position (location, traffic, time frame, etc) where I can just go out and drive it. That is what I was saying above.

If you want to prove anything, I will be at Ennis next weekend if you want to come beat me with with your car.

I'll gladly be waiting. I will never go to Northstar.

I hate to bring this back up. But I had 3.31s from the factory, swapped it for 3.55s why? 3.55s were dead split in the middle for drag and hwy rolls. I love the 3.55s and the 3.31s are great too. Ask David(phuck face) but 3.31s vs 3.73s would be real close. Yes the 3.73 would accelerate faster but durning the shift the 33.1s will pull back the ground and if a good driver wouldn't matter. Over all it'd boil down to a driver race not who has what gears. I can slam gears pretty damn quick so it doesn't matter to me. I have a video of me running two deep(my girl as camera holder)(him by himself) against another 5.0 with the same mods but he had 3.73 gears. And from a 40 roll to 140-145 I pulled him by almost a car both races. His shifting seemed legit. So its all in how the car feels and driver

Dirty: let me know when you're at Ennis. I'm looking to take the Boss on a few runs and Ennis is my preferred track.

IMO roll racing isn't racing...racing from a dig is racing

Agreed minor bolt on cars roll racing is a waste. If you cant launch it and control the power then you shouldn't be racing.

Big builds that cry they cant hook up and have to roll race perhaps you need a new builder and to work on suspension and technique.
