7.1.5. Unless otherwise stated in SR’s the Starter shall be deemed as a Judge of Fact in respect of Race Starts

7.5. The Pole position must be on the side of the track that is on the inside of the first corner after the start, or as otherwise defined on the Track Licence

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


Those are the only regulations that apply to the race start itself (there are others about things like leaving the dummy grid etc). You could have appealed under 7.8.1 and at a stretch 7.7.2. Of course, these may be superseded by 7.1.5. I guess it all depends on whether you think being in "formation" means pole man in front of P2 and whether the starter giving the start signal has, as judge of fact, determined the start to be good.
