I usually read and agree with a lot of things you post, but I won't with this comment. Big drag racing fan here. Has the insight to see what makes old iron and new stuff work.

The science behind this type of racing has come a long way. My friend has a nice 1000whp caddy, that over the last, say, 5 years has had a great evolution. He did a lingenfelter top end kit and on street tires ran 10.89s. Not D.O.T.s, his street continental's. He caught the bug. His car gained many upgrades quickly and his skills as a driver also greatly improved. Just for arguments sake also, dont for a second think what is programmed to control traction and stability in a stock vehicle is even remotely useful in a modern ride with over 700 whp, it will still overpower the car, and untrained driver.

Roll racing may be different from a "dig" but I like it just as much. The violent explosions just happen differently.
