Going from a roll and going from a dead stop is 2 different worlds. Alot more to take into account when racing from a stop. Anyone can drive from a roll, but it takes skill to drive from a stop.

<------- (Who races from a roll )

Also some cars just do not do well at the track, I have seen cars MOVE on the street and run shitty times at the track. You also have to think about it like this, you may pull a 2.0 60 ft. and the Camaro you are racing pulls a 1.7, thats a big difference. Not saying you can't drive, just throwing out some personal experience
