Narrative:

I had just finished engine runup prior to departure on runway 26. There were 4 designated runup areas marked with T's. I taxied out to make room for other aircraft and pulled out too far and crossed the runway hold short bar. I feel the hold short bar was too close to designated runup spot. By the time I pulled out, I was across the line. I could have prevented it by paying more attention to my position.
