Protest

This is a no-brainer (for those who have a brain). It is written in the NHRA rulebook:
"Contestants protest must be filed with the proper officals the day prior to eliminations (class and/or eliminations) of that category.....NHRA reserves the right to reject any protest filed that it determins, in its sole and absolute dicretion, is frivolos or intended to harass another competitor or to other wise gain some unfair advantage".
Unless this rule has been recinded of changed and is published for all to see it must be enforced. This is not the kind of rule any NHRA official can abide by if he feels like it that day or modify for a "friend" or a racer in his divison. It says " Contestants protest MUST be filed the day prior to eliminations". It doesn't say pending weather conditions or if one contestant has more money than the other. If not, then why have a rule book?
If you think a guy is illegal then make your protest within the time frame alloted. If that isn't possible then you will have to wait until the next race! Fair is fair! Rules are rules! The rules are for EVERYONE! Not just a few!
