I had to do it while we were re-engineering my remote starter. No, it's not safe but that doesn't mean it isn't exciting. Use a long rope and shift to a higher gear before dumping the clutch, it starts easier in 5th than in 1st.

I usually use 3rd, I had the battery puke a few times on me since the one-way went. Fixed the one-way, now it's time for a better battery.
