Default YFZ drag race start in second gear.

Just wondering if any of you have tried this technique. I was doing it out at Dumont a few weeks ago.
Put it in second while parked, then roast the throttle and rip the clutch, I have to sit way up on the gas tank
to keep the front end down when full throttle is hammered on through the power band...
My friend has a TRX450R jetted with a HMF pipe (he couldnt roast from 2nd, tried a bunch of times it just stalled out).
We were doing this both at the same time next to each other just messin around..
Im not that good at riding with the front end 2-3 feet off the ground through the power band yet..

Let me know if you have done this and can or cant...

The guy on the 450r needs to gear down and he will be able to holeshot in 2nd.
