The VSCDA tried some LeMan type starts in the mid 1980s.  They were 
exciting, and seemed a good idea on paper, but not in practice.  

Vintage racing is complicated enough with its wide diversity in horse power 
and talent.  In my opinion adding a further degree of difficulty with LeMan 
or standing starts, inverted grids, etc., etc. are not a good ideas.  
Adding further complication is looking for trouble.  The old bricklayer term 
'cluster f*ck' comes to mind.
