I've seen some funny stuff at the starting line of a drag strip.
A friend got a cell phone call just as he staged. He answered the phone for some reason too.
Another friend got a cell phone call while he was bracket racing and red lighted in the finals.
Another friend with a heads and cam Camaro left the traction control on. He launched hard and the thing started out hard and just about died. He was thrown back from the hard launch and then from the traction control cutting everything and it dieing smashed his head into the steering wheel. He had the worst case of whiplash ever from it.
Another guy left his parking brake on.
A friend on his first run ever at a strip with his modified Camaro launched at 3500 rpms and mashed the gas. It spun till it hit the rev limiter. He power shifted to second, spun through second and powershifted to 3rd. I guess the adrenaline was really flowing cause you guessed it, he spun through 4th and hit 5th. At this point he was about 200' down the track. When he hit 5th the car bogged and almost stalled.
