I like both...

Heads up needs more car control skill for Launching, throttle feathering, and what-have-you...

From a roll skips all the fun of a launch, then all you have left is shifting...

Heads up..I feel that we have a better advantage from the hole than rolling.

Hole shot for sure I also like the 45 to 110 pull takes a little more nerve shifting those higher gears are fun :laugh:

I believe the SRT 8 has 4 wheel drive.... so go from a roll. All the other members mention all the important stuff.

When one is boosted, I think from a roll is better because traction is a big issue. Even at the drags, sometimes when it is cold, the strip is wet, and one can't get great traction with what we got. Once the tires are heated up, traction is weak. I like the roll much better.

If one isn't boosted, either one is great.

In the x runner I prefer from a roll because I don't like our 1st gear at all

1st isn't too bad, it's when you try to throw it in second and it grinds like crazy then falls on it's face because of the gearing and you already lost by that time lol

I prefer when we pass the start/finish line and the green flag drops and then it's 6 or more laps of excitement!!!

Well, that's what I would LIKE to try some time! Maybe I'll have my T56 installed by May and can run up to VIR!!

I like roll races. I have a top end truck so a 40mph roll is perfect.
