If the smoke from your exhaust is so thick that it blacks-out (interferes with the normal, proper operation of) the staging beams in either lane, you will be disqualified.
But note that it just refers to the staging beams - As long as I don't smoke them out (which will result in an invalid ET), I'm home free!

I've had some time runs in diesel brackets when I was in a very slow vehicle (I once raced a 22.6-second U-haul at a diesel national event), when the faster truck put down so much smoke on the top end that I had a hard time seeing the finish line. Maybe this IS the way to negate the high top end speeds of the .90 classes, safety be damned
