hey if the kill switch was on the starting line, how did it stay running?

The swith lever screws onto to the post and it backed itself off. Not something I ever thought to check but will do so on all the race toys in the future. Not sure if it is a common thing, but I doubt it.

I was like "whaaaaat?" LOL

I've noticed a screw loose

on the master cutoff switch on the Volare before, too, but have caught it before it fell off. LOL

That must've been a really, REALLY long burnout to end up crooked and not have room to straighten it out. You could back up a little and straighten up... Glad you had fun though!

I've had a couple people tell me the 'burn to the line' tip helped them last weekend. My dad has yelled at me for years "Don't give away all your secrets!" -=shrug=- It's fun.
