Not my pics, just stuff I've found other people post.
Now, from this pics on dragracecentral.com...
The only thing I can figure that could've happened is that the front spoiler went under the beam, and the fender flares went above the beam, so the first thing to trip would be the tire. Even that looks *really* close, but I don't know that it's enough reasonable doubt to overturn the timing system. They've got the finish line beam set at the leading edge of the painted stripe (right side in the pic).
