Maybe they should have stopped by a quality automotive shop and had everything checked out.

This is a car I own
I gave this car a few years ago to a racer to drive and run for me as I had another I was racing
This is my fault and not the driver who had the car as I never told him about the front battery
it is sad that nhra picks who they kick
But in the end Its the nhra play ground and they can do what they want
With all the things allowed they choose something this foolish to worry about…..
So again I am sorry to the racer he is a great guy and i should of told him

At Englishtown tech inspector checked our front battery which was Ok. He told me that the word had been put out awhile back about these batteries. He said if you show up with one before the race (in tech) or during the race and they find it you are done. Now this was a national event I don't know what will happen at a divisional although it should be the same penalty.

That fake battery deal has been around a very long time. The '69 Nova Stocker I bought and raced 20 years ago had one in it. I removed it and the trunk battery. Put a lightweight battery up front. I got DQ'ed once for improperly secured ballast in the trunk. Had weight in there not in a box as required. Long stupid story how that happened but it got me thrown out after winning rd 1 at a National event. I apologized and took my punishment and moved on. Added a second weight box after that one. Then sold the car. Rules are rules and should be enforced equally and at all events.

I'm assuming a display battery.
