As for pit guys holding the truck for the start...it's best if you have someone do it for you because you can keep the engine cleared out by revving it until it's time to race. I did see a truck or two without a pitman just line up and go. If you know you can idle for 15-30 seconds and still get off the line ok, you could run with out one. If you don't have one, and make the mains, just ask some to help get you started...they will. Everyone is helpful. Don't be afraid to ask a racer from another class. He should have time if he isn't fixing a broken truck. The mains will be the only time you will have to worry about it, because the qual's are rolling starts straight from warmup laps.
