They do it from behind at the Drake Relays, with assistant starters
watching in front.
In the worst case, if a starter stood (off the track, of course) on a
line with the starting line, the sound of the gun would reach the
runner in lane 1 about 0.025 seconds before it reached the runner

Allen Gillman was good enough to send along a pdf copy of the reaction
time report. The report itself is copyrighted, but I'll copy the
abstract. That answers some questions and may increase your interest in
seeking out a copy of the June issue of Medicine Science In Sports
