I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

It was only a 'non expert' race (king of the kids ;-) ).  And the gearing was too tall and was bogging-down in second.  I've changed the gearing and fitted a quicker action throttle, should be holeshot'ing more often now  :-D

How did you get a holeshot that big on a 250? Were the others in a coma? ;D

I've holeshot'd most of my life, I use to get nailed for jump-starts at roadracing because I'm gone before anyone else starts moving.  When I've drag raced, on 'pro starts' (when lights just go amber then green .4 of a second later) my reaction time was generally .400

A big money desert race I used to do in the 90’s was a flag start with over 300 entries on the line. After the first year I noticed the Lion’s Club president who started the race Via a big flag would stare at his watch until the last 10 seconds when he would start mouthing the numbers. After that I always started as close as I could get to him on the line. When he got to three I just jumped on my bike and went. The worst start I got for the next five years was second. There is a lot of dust in desert racing.
