In fact, in our driver's schools we actually teach drivers to wave during a race-start-wave-off.
Greg,

I recognize that there are two sides to this. As a steward, perhaps I tend to see the bad outcomes from misplaced signals.

On waved-off starts, the GCR requires a hand signal (see corrected original post - I dropped a sentence).
