Actually, I already use the ebrake on ProSolo launches now - I lost a run
once in my GS days where the clutch grabbed a little at 6000 and rolled the
car forward. So now I pull and hold the ebrake at every launch.
Takes a little hand-eye-foot co-ordination to get right, but it's not
difficult.

Not to mention that a "real" Pro tree uses a .400 redlight instead of a
.500.
But it doesn't really matter, I think Howard was just mucking around with
some of the new features of the new equipment. You can't use a Pro tree in
the challenges, because you can't stagger a Pro tree - Pro trees can only
do heads-up.
Given that the Challenges are bracket races, it wouldn't work - and running
Pro trees in qualifying and a Sportsman tree during the Show is just a Bad
Idea.
I don't think it's under serious consideration.
