I get that and so does the NHRA apparently which was why he was tossed out after his 1st round win and Hebert was reinstated. This is all an unknown until after it is inspected. The timing of the inspection determined the action taken. They cannot go back in time.
Do you honestly think that every other car that ran the 1st round was completely free of any technical infractions? Maybe they were or maybe some aren't. It isn't known until they are inspected thoroughly which is a whole nuther issue.
That is not meant to point fingers at anyone, but my point is that I don't disagree that it shouldn't have been eligible to run the first round according to the technical inspection. My point is that this wasn't known until after the 1st round of eliminations were run.
We are in agreement that the tech department deemed it ineligible for competition at this race. My point is that they didn't know it until after the 1st round. What are you expecting them to do differently without any advanced knowledge? You did say this "With this fact established, this car should not have been among those scheduled to compete on Thursday." So how would that work?
