Depending on how hard hitting the motor is there is a much easier way to make a sprintcar self starting...but it does have a minor inconvenience. I used to run a 305 class that had to be self starting. All we did was add a flexplate to the end of the crank, cut a big hole in the motorplate to accept it, and put a spacer on the back of the motorplate for a second plate to sandwich the flexplate.
The car can be started to warm the motor out of gear, or can be locked in gear to allow the starter to drag the car forward until the motor fires. Works great for convenience, but wouldn't work if your intent was stop and go driving like in parades and such.
