Ok, this helps clear up an issue that has been bugging
me. I would be interested in anyone who could verify/comment
on whether a tow release could be used for a start...If
a Start Point had been declared.

No, it cannot (except reverting to a *free record* performance)

But you may use release altitude as your start altitude (for the 1000 m
difference with the altitude at finish point) and pass within the
declared start point observation zone later and higher (distance flights
only, not allowed on speed tasks)
