One of the guys we race against has something similar on his car. I don't know how many people he has startled the crap out of by hitting the button & lurching forward when there was no push truck behind him. You just don't expect to see a Sprint Car move on it's own. The danger I see with these is that the driver has no peripheral view of what's coming up along side of him to reach a car ahead of him in the push off lane. We use a lot of ATVs to push & there have been some close calls.
I would love to have something to be able to start my car to tune or get heat, but I would not mount the battery on the car or use it in the push off lane.
As far as pushing off down our street here at home, if I didn't, I'd never get to speak to my neighbors! Every kid on the block drags Mom or Dad over to see the "Dune Buggy".
