You mean like F1 used to have. Current regs prohibit launch control.They have a "launch control" button sort of like F1 so it doesn't wheelie as easily on the start, but this time it didn't work. The announcers mentioned before the race both Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden were "somewhat concerned" about the start of the race (as were a lot of the other riders I bet) that it would happen again.
Bet the Dwarf was in a good mood when he got back to the pits.
