Well, this thread proves that we all have different views for different reasons...but is anyone really so shallow as to not want to race in a particular series just because of the start procedure? If you're going to call yourself a racing driver you just knuckle down and get on with it! Either is a proper skill, and you need to have it in your armoury.
Me? I enjoy both...we do rollers in FISC and Club 100 karting and it's no less frantic than a standing start...but I've had some ballistic standing starts thanks to my background in hillclimbs & sprints...so I really don't mind
IMO the "drag race" to the first corner from a standing start is just an ego trip - my car's faster than yours because my wallet's bigger than yours.
