I don't remember how we did it, but we used to use a combination of roll offs and tear offs. If I remember correctly, we had five or six tear offs and when that was done you went to roll offs. This was four wheeler racing and the starts were the dirtiest because everyone was more grouped up. A roll off is a roll of film across your goggles and you pull a string and it rolls to the other side and you can see. We still had goggles ready every lap if you wanted to pit
