If you're talking about the real world of olden days street racing, like in the 60s & early 70s, around Chicago most of it was done "from a roll". That could have been from 20 or 30 MPH, depending on what was agreed upon. It was less conspicuous to the cops, and, gave some people distinct advantages. It also took a lot of the skill out of driving, so, if you knew where your car would spin the least, and, could "punch it" and go straight, then raw horsepower would rule.
