I've never tried the "heel-toe" method, but maybe I should have because I've rolled out of the lights many times..........ESPECIALLY at Broadway Bob's in Union Grove where the starting line is on a HILL. I know that track has a lot of history and people love it, but for me, it's the worst place I've ever run. I rolled back out of the staging lights THREE times before I finally kept my foot on the brake until the yellows came down, then had to HURRY back to the gas, set my launch rpm, then forget about timing the launch on the lights. By the time I was ready, the green was already on. They should have a sign in the pits saying, "line-lock required"!
I know I'll get flamed for my opinion and people will testify that they ran there with no problems, but my experience was terrible in '83.
