I myself prefer the normal shift pattern, because you have the ability to shift into neutral at the end of the 1/4 mile. I have ran both but prefer the normal pattern.
I have reverse VB and have a clean neutral after drive. Works great.
So the shift pattern is P-R-1-2-3-N
Maybe you'd like that?

And don't get me started on the exploding TorqueFlights. If you treat your trans right the chances of that happening are pretty slim but you should run a shield anyway. Never do a burnout in 1st gear, always start off in second and if you lose a rear end or driveshaft while in first always take the trans out and inspect/replace the over running clutch components. I prefer just to replace the inner race, springs and rollers.
Whose shifter do you use with that? Which brand of valve body?
I was told to never start out in 2nd gear. I can't remember why, but I do remember the trans has to start turning before it hits 2nd otherwise there could be catastrophic failure. Maybe it's the rule for just my VB but I was told to start in 1 then shift to 2nd then come out of the burnout.
Rick Allison built my valve body. The guy knows his stuff...
Excellent observation.You no longer need kick down linkage, but I bet you still want to connect your throttle.
I have raced from 1970 to 1993 and then started back again in 2009. I have never exploded a Torqueflite. I have always started the burnout in 1st gear and shifted on up through 2nd then drive and then let it roll out from just in front of the standing water. I did dry hops for 23 years, but I have stopped doing them now. Yes, Rick Allison is one of the best.I was told to never start out in 2nd gear.

No, never start out in 1st, maybe you just got mixed up.
OK, now I'm scared sh*tless about my trans. What valve body do you guys recommend for a mild 440 in a Dart? Does anyone know if the Transgo kits have low band apply?
Isn't the -3 full manual?
