Just because a car nose dives does not constitute excessive braking.
Lets here other opinions.

Clearly tire smoke is excessive braking unless it is caused by the other car coming into your lane. Locking the front tires (probably hard to lock the rears first) even without smoke could cause loss of control, would that count?
Friends constantly ask how a car can cross the centerline after the finish line and that isn't a foul, they wonder how that ever got allowed. Anyone know? They understand eventually you'll have to cross to exit, just not 5' past the finish.
