I told them if my car blew upon at the start from dumping the clutch at red line it was on their watch if there was a huge crash.
Luckily, it neither blew up, nor stalled, nor broke the clutch.  And it was a true drag race launch.  But in the mirror I saw an awful lot of cars spreading out wildly.  Luckily no crashes but I guess they learned it wasnt the best plan overall.
There's a reason SCCA no longer does standing starts.  Need a reminder, watch F1 when it comes back.

And a "LeMan" start, which I never cared for.  
VSCDA tried them a couple of times.  Not a good idea with so much diversity in equipment and talent in vIntage racing.
