JRyan, you are correct in your post a couple pages back about the sensor releasing first and the driver releasing (a fake) on the bottom. It is normal for the driver to watch the bottom and release the button at a normal time just as if he were actually releasing the car. (also most use an internal and external brake for checking purposes) However, some are so brave that they just throw a hand up in the air when the car leaves. These are easy to catch. (That is if anyone wanted to catch them.) I have seen officials taken to a spot where they could watch this happen on two occasions. The driver was so late that he was releasing the button when the car was 2 ft. in the air. Nothing was done. That is one of the reasons you aren't seeing protests. Since nothing is being done, more and more people are using the theory "if you can't beat them, join them". And now you see certain racers looking for ways to better their odds.

Do away with trans brakes? They can't even be kept out of stock where they are illegal to begin with.

Real time GPS is now old technology as MarkT stated. The six satelite link is all you need. I think you really only need a 3 link as at least 2 are used for elevation.

One way to keep the nose up and kill a little et is to sutter the engine or just hit the line loc button and engage the burnout limiter. I think both of these are illegal but aren't enforced.

One other thing. Today I was shown a product that changes the di electric properties of fuel. Wonder how long that has been out there? Supposedly can't be spectrograph detected but I doubt that.
