Roll racing is not just a Mustang thing. Corvettes, Hellcats, Camaro's, Supras, etc, etc, etc. It's all over social media/Youtube. Not saying I condone it but if this place makes you feel like you are having a stroke then maybe stick to the Camaro forums? Although I am quite sure you have Camaro owners who "like to race in Mexico" too.

It's more the leap from 'it doesn't count if you don't have a time slip/prepped surface' to 'GT500 best roll racer evar'.

Roll racing (imo) was popularized by the FWD import crowd. Couldn't hook from a dig so might as well start the 'race' while you're already moving. Wasn't trying to imply it's a Mustang thing, I'm well aware that owners of all makes and models partake.

God this place makes me feel like I'm having a stroke sometimes. Are they handing out time slips in 'MeXiCo' now? Or are they racing for pink slips like all the cool kids?

Keep it on the track

Looks like DCTC to me.

It is. Was actually look at the midwest track schedules today. Probably going to hit up the first day at BIR and at least one weekend at Road America, just trying to figure out which one.

Driver Can't Take Corners?

Yeah, I'd buy that ...

Well, it might look to someone who doesn't know the track that there's a cone at the apex and he missed the apex, but DCTC is a very small track and that cone is at the end of a decreasing radius corner. I wouldn't judge based on what I see in the picture. Frankly I hate that corner - it's not easy to get it right.

Stupid toilet bowl. Cone is definitely not marking an apex. That's heading in to the very sharp left turn so I'm trying to keep to the right. But I never claimed to be a pro driver.

I wasn't even assessing the driving skill/line, just being a PITA

This is a serious place for serious discussion! Get out of here with your attempts at humor!

Just tell people you super early apex to keep things interesting.

Makes sense to me. Try to maximize the "somewhat straight" before the toilet bowl and maximize the straight after the left turn you have coming up.

Based on knowing you, I was about 80/20 that you were actually kidding. I figured it wouldn't hurt this thread at all to talk about something a little different for a couple posts, though.

I postulate that cars are just the modern-day male plumage. It's no longer in vogue to wear frilly silk shirts, meticulously shined leather shoes with mirror-like buckles, a tri-corner hat with an parrot feather, nor ride a well-groomed horse. Heaven forbid the plumage catch stray rubber, gravel or suffer a chip in the paint.

Hilarious - thanks!

I am guessing roll racing. Where it seems a lot of the racing is happening on social media.

LOL, it was just me hypothetically guessing.

Hopefully they show on YouTube the whole process when the “Mexican” authorities arrests them and seize their cars for racing.

I never understood adults with families doing this. Too much to risk and lose IMO in a ton of different areas.

Try this....

There are some pretty popular Youtubers who do this too. Some videos with millions of views. I am pretty surprised they have not made an example or Youtube allows these types of video to remain up and generate income. They do it to get hits and ultimately money. If the money stops many of the videos would stop. Or if some of them had their cars impounded and licences revoked.

It is what it is, but definitely not just a Mustang thing.

you guys are hilarious. I guess you were not aware Im literally the pioneer of roll racing at strips and legal venues.. huh.. yes, roll racing has been going on forever, however taking it a legal venue, and setting up equipment to gather and capture technical data, and YES, EVEN PROVIDE SLIPs.. is kinda my thing lol. again, you guys never research what you are arguing about

and FYI, im talking with IRRA now about possible collaborations..
