Thought maybe I'd clicked onto the Canadian forum and some of this was in French or something.
I may not be the greatest speller, but geeessssh I was lost on this one.

I guess I just can't get into this "On a roll" thing. Kinda dumb.
On a rolling start, both cars, can't hit the gas at the exact same time, every time, so one car always has a little advantage. That folks is not racing, in any since of the word, only a kids game.
If you can't start from a dead stop, with a flag start or at the strip with lights, then your not proving anything. "Moon"

Break boosting during a roll is pretty easy and while in a roll ride the break until you build boost and let go of the break. I really don't break boost unless it worth wild race.

I tried this today. ????? Unless I am completely stupid(don't answer that) I could only get the car to slow down. How can you maintain speed and build boost? Seems counter intuitive.
