Roll racing - 01/08/21 04:33 PM
Goody brings up a decent point. As with many posts, things can go right or left quickly getting off topic. So, let's start the discussion up here.
Pittsburgh, I dont believe I read anywhere in your posts you were bad mouthing modern stuff, just the concept of roll racing, which is fine
and your opinion. Can't fault one there.
I honestly thought when the post first went up, it was going to be similar to the previous Doc street race post, glad it wasn't, but it did take a turn.
So, first I will say, if you've never been to a roll race, give it a try. You may enjoy it as much or more than a standard drag race. I took my oldest son to his first at Pocono a few months ago. It was fun, but after 4 hours he had enough ( frankly I did too after standing in 40 degree and misting weather conditions) but we both saw a lot of our favorite exotics, super, and hyper cars. And some interesting unique rides as well. They were all doing what they were built to do- go fast.
Finally, the name designated to roll racers- first off i don't give a schitt what your sexual preference or orientation is. When a bunch of adults refer to someone else like this because they have a difference of opinion, your just showing the rest of us the beginning of your own insecurities. We should be at least supporting one another in motorsports as a whole. I don t think the upcoming generation's are really going to give a crap about racing, to the point it may all but vanish in the next 20-30 years( man I hope not). The bullet isn't a site I've visited in the last 5 years, its pretty much become a huge porn/schitt talking show with some tech tossed in for measure. If thats anyone's thing, fine.
So, anyone who's done both, post up your thoughts. What do you prefer? What would you change?
