I understand what you are saying..I've been on planes that kept rolling
turned, and took off....

But this guy floored it before the turn was even made. Full throttle.

I've never been in a plane that accelerated through the turn onto the
runway. He never slowed down, or stopped accelerating from the hold
position. Freaked me out.

Pretty standard procedure in many airports. Why stopping again when you're
already rolling and all checks have been done?
