Jim,

If you look at the language in the rule refusing to tear down during a protest results in disqualification from future competition and removal from the event. and other penalties as deemed appropriate by NHRA. Not necessarily a full suspension of privilege for any pre determined length of time.

Also a weight violation at the scale would not lead to a disqualification from the event unless it was during eliminations. Your qualifying run would be disqualified but you would be allowed to correct the weight violation and run the next round of qualifying if there was a round left. Similar to a fuel violation.
