Holeshot

This is particularly relevant in motocross and supercross, where racers line up alongside each other rather than behind each other in tarmac-based sports.

Achieving the holeshot in BMX will earn the rider a victory the majority of the time.

[2] A holeshot maneuver in off-road bicycle racing (mountain biking or cyclocross) is when a racer moves from the relatively flat, open area of the start to the narrower confines of the single track ahead of the other racers.

In drag racing, a "holeshot win" refers to a victory in which a driver runs a slower elapsed time (E.T.)

but wins the race due to a faster reaction time at the start.
