Gotcha, you use it to mean when you get out of the hole faster than your opponent or "get the jump" on them. In other words a better RT by a good margin. In drag racing circles a holeshot win is a great feeling because you beat a better equipped opponent (faster car) by virtue of better skill (RT).

In drag racing, a "holeshot" refers to a victory in which a driver runs a quicker elapsed time (E.T.), but loses the race due to a slower reaction time at the start.
