Questions about the Track Start

I still haven't arrived at a starting form in my masters career and am thinking the track start is what I might need to go to. Is the track start better than the grab start for the flexibility challenged like myself? Do I put my weight forward or back? and on a related note, if I have one leg that is stronger than the other which position should that be in? I prefer the track start for races, as I find I have a faster reaction time and can get "out" more on the start rather than feeling like I'm going downward. There is also more stability in the track start position, especially if you are flexible challenged as you stated. You would want your weight more on the front leg than the back. This way when the signal sounds, you don't have far to go. I am a right handed/footed person, and I always have my right leg in the back position, but this is just a personal preference. You really just have to try out different positions and use what works best for you.
