Yeah; the old 'Flying Start". Outlawed by the NHRA as unsportsmanlike, it's only seen in rare photos! (Fun shot Terry!)

The Navy was considering this for carrier duty for its quick liftoff characteristics

@perrone1 How is this "Flying Start" physically possible? I could not find anything about this on the internet.

I was joking actually. There have been some drag racing starts that caused all four tires to leave the ground - most involved wheelie bars that are not in evidence here though, And I saw one where the car was bouncing and the car left the ground. In a wheelie, if air catches the car it may go airborn. Look at 2:08 of this video. Then it replays.
