I got around this limitation when I installed my Sniper 1 by using a time delay relay. I built a simple circuit to keep the start signal hot for a brief period of time while transitioning from START to RUN. This worked fine, but was a little weird because I never took the time to "dial in" the delay time, so the car runs for a second or two after you turn the key off. I got used to it and it never bothered me enough to play with the delay settings on the relay, but I'm sure it could have been timed to make it unnoticeable.
