The MSA regs on rolling starts are as follows:

7.7. In the case of a rolling start, on display of the Green flag karts will proceed round the course in grid formation at a steady pace to await the starting signal.
7.7.1. The karts may be preceded by an Official pace vehicle.
7.7.2. If there is no pace vehicle the Driver in No.1 position will control the speed.
7.8. When the starter is satisfied that the karts are approaching the start line in correct formation, the starting signal will be given by a Red/Green light signal, or by raising the National flag.
7.8.1. It is an offence to break formation before crossing the start line itself and may result in the offender being moved to the back of the grid or otherwise penalised. Such penalties will not incur points or be recorded on
the competition licence record.
7.8.3. Where the optional track markings are used
(7.5.1) the Clerk of the Course must make reference to their use in the drivers briefing. When used the start signal will not be given before the Yellow Line. The karts approaching the Start Line must remain in formation, at approximately half race speed (which will
be set by the pole sitter) and be driven within the set of two metre lines appropriate to their side of the grid. It will be deemed an offence to accelerate in any way before the Yellow Line or drive outside the marked lines.

Since at some tracks the officials are making up their own rules on starts, I suggest that you contact the MSA and complain. Explain what is happening, what you would like to happen, and then sit back and see what does happen! You can do no more!
