Default launch from second?

hey anybody ever try it st the track? i tried it the other day and i was shocked at how the car jumped off the line. i am curious if anyone ever did this at the track and if it slowed things down or not. i know it seems weird but really try launching hard from second! anyway is this a silly question, i just want to know before i try it at the track---or if i try it. will my times be slower cause there is no first, i spiphn most of it anyway
