More than 1/2 the time I get a Black flag for "jump starts"
at watkins glen when there is no way I jumped the gun, hell
half the time I wait till everybody else is moving just to
avoid this and STILL get flagged. Anybody else have this
problem 8^)

So long as you really aren't beating the flag, the trick on the Glen is to
have your foot on the brake pedal before going to the race, when you press
the green button. That way you will not roll forward when the car 'lands' on
the grid. Its OK to take your foot off the brake when the car is settled.
Rolling forward happens at a couple of tracks, Spa for instance,

You may be rolling forward some when you first get in the car; the grid
there seems to slope downhill a little, try holding the brake while you
click the green button.

I thought this was fixed in patch 1.2 (or before even). Auto-brake at
Spa.

It was not! At least in my 1.2. But who cares; you can always stay on
the brake while clicking the green.
