I'm not dumping on Jon- hell I don't even know him and I'm sure he has learned a valuable Lesson. I only dump on people I know !
We've all hit the brakes and whomped to death trying to salvage a win, but safety always comes first. Perhaps the rule should be re-written with more defination like if I'm DQ"d in one class then I should be DQ'd for the event in other classes I run too.
Reading the rule- it's ok to lockem up and smokem as long as I stay between the lines.

>> From the NHRA Ruelbook, under the Race Procedures Section:

"Anytime it has been judged that excessive braking has resulted in loss of control that results in contact with the guardrail and/or light fixtures or crossing the center boundary lines, including past the finish line, the contestant will be disqualified."

This rule applies to heads-up as well as dial-in or index classes.
