In the current setup, when the first row all gets a decent lauch, we now have 3 riders going 3-wide into turn one. First one off the gas is the last one through the turn. We have had people clip the inside dirt, trying to hold that one spot going 3 wide into turn one. I've seen this on video.

Proposing a small movement of the current dots is pretty simple. Even if its just half a bike length, I think it will be significant. When the front row has an equal launch, we now go in spaced apart. First guy has the hole shot unless second guy flat out beats him on the launch. So, its possible to go 3 wide, of course if the pole guy sucks, second gets decent and third does great and they all line up. But even then, the guy that did better will power past.

This is less likely, IMO, then having the three guys start off dead even to begin with. They all get similar launches, which puts them all equal going into turn 1.

Now, what arguements show that the current setup is better? The fact that is has worked this long is irrelevant when talking about rule changes. Something can work forever and still not be the best way to do things. This is just for discussion and should be taken lightly. Again, no one is trying to re-invent the wheel. This type of staggering happens in most other major clubs, so even if we can't do full spacing like MotoGP, maybe we can work on something similar.
