Not rocket science.
Ever notice the huge crowd of spectators/tech's/picture takers around
the cars as they leave?
You need a stable car to drive out in and avoid have to make excuses
after for a tragic accident.
I follow a LOT of drag racing.  None would ever be allowed to be
forward of the rear wheels of a car while it "Launches".  They can and
do turn hard port/starboard in extreme cases of breakage
