I Accidentally went too fast !!

With all this "Fast" talk about AA, A and B, I have a question....let me set the stage: I have a really fast B stocker, or a fast A stocker or respectable AA stocker. I've been through tech, and made a good qualifying run, or maybe eliminations have started. The air changes, tail wind picks up, I tuned it up,... whatever..., and I go out and run 9.999. I'm not licensed to go 9.999. I don't have 9.999 safety equipment - trans shield, fire suit, gloves, neck support, Full certified cage (any or all ) etc. What happens now?

You'll be warned not to do it again.

That has happened to me. Nothing was done or said. Great air and track picked the car up quite a bit from where it usually runs. I am sure you wouldn't want to do that on a regular basis though. My car has all the required certs though.
