Just because you disagree does not make it dumb.

Road racing is turning correct? Highway racing is strait line...seems a lot more like drag racing to me.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Some of you have a different criteria for what constitutes a drag race than what I do. Even Wikipedia agrees with me:

"The race follows a straight course from a standing start over a measured distance, most commonly ¼ mile (1,320 ft (400 m)), with a shorter 1,000 ft (300 m) for some Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars, while 660 ft (200 m) (1/8 mi) is also popular in some circles"

The point of my 'dumb' saying is that it's not a drag unless it's from a dig.

Again.. thats NOT the dumb part.. the dumb part is calling Roll racing " road racing"..

last time i checked.. "road racing" was racing around a coarse, with turns and stuff like corners.. NOT straight line racing from a roll..

if your fantastic line was " did we come to Drag race or ROll race" it would make sense.. but at no point have i seen people go to the street to "road race".

just sayin..
