But what do I care, >my hydraulics will last longer. Me too. I also picture the throwout bearing wearing needlessly as you sit with your foot on the clutch. The only time I make an exception is when conditions are such that a fast pull away may be needed for safety. Even using this method, I can still be first across if I care just by opening up the throttle. Sure, they beat me for ten feet, then the boost kicks in and they fall back. The only problem I've found is keeping the front end on the ground under boost in first and second. If there is anything at all slick on the surface, I can break a tire free easily. I only push it when there's a reason too - and it's not my ego... I left that behind years ago.
