I certainly have no objection to a rolling start - as stated, I've just never tried it. And I definitely would not avoid a given series just because of its start procedure. Variety is the spice of life an' all that!
However, Midgetman's last comment about the 'drag race' to the first corner kind of touches on what I said earlier - I generally lose out in said 'drag race', possibly partly because my car
isn't that quick off the line, and my wallet certainly
ain't bigger than anyone's (I'm generally on pretty sh*gged out tyres for one!) - but I don't mind, because it's kinda fun spending the next couple of laps trying to stick it back to 'em! 'Them' in this case being the aforementioned 'bigger wallet' brigade.
Completely lost track now of what point, if any, I was trying to make...
Oh well, it's getting late, make of it what you will.
