Too many races are ruined by first turn pile ups. For the 250 east guys laying on the ground before the first turn essentially theyre season is over .
Grid start would solve this to a huge degree. It would also produce better racing by getting the top guys out together to battle for the whole race.

Going to be watching that pile up for the next 3 weeks
The Shop
Put the fastest 11 riders in the front and the slower 11 in the back.
I'd rather see the fast guys go at it right from the get go. Plus that would help eliminate these slower riders causing so much carnage in the first turn like last night.
There needs to be more reward for being the fastest qualifiers. Gate pick isn't enough. SX/MX are the only motor sports where the fastest qualifiers aren't at the front.
Everyone seems to get to tough guy defensive at the thought of any change being made.
Imo, 22 guys starting at the same time is just too much. 11 would give everyone room in the first turn. At the end of the day, I don't care about the start as much as I want to see great racing.
F1 has grid starts. Guys get rear ended, side swiped, there is chaos all the time of some type.
Pit Row
It would allow for much better racing also having the top guys up front. It’s a great idea.
