I bet, once you’ve opened the taps, you’re out of options almost immediately I would imagine.
In places like Sopu, Fane and others of their ilk; Yes! SOP in the BN2s was stand on the brakes and go to full power, making sure that the mixture was lean enough to give you max revs.

Once you released the brakes you were committed for take off.
