No one with a fast car races from a dig anymore. Foremost, to find a road where you can both safely come to stop for some time and also race to a meaningful speed (160+) is near impossible. You're not even able to stretch a car's legs in dig racing unless you are willing to approach those speeds...1st and 2nd gear are meaningless, tell you nothing about how fast a car accelerates and aren't for WOT use. Launching from a stop also presents dangers which make it unsafe for two cars to do so next to each other. This is mitigated by driver skill, but everyone with a fast car has spun out trying to go straight at least once or twice.
