Once one car was found to be illegal every car should have been checked for the same infraction, same day. Doubt this actually happened. Kudos if it did.

I agree with this 100%!

He should be out! So what if he welded them now. They are set exactly where they need to be for the track...

Inspection = Implies 100% of the population.
Audit = Random sampling of the population.

Every car should go through a basic safety inspection prior to making any passes.

If resources are limited, which NHRA claims they are, a technical audit should be incorporated into the safety inspections.

In such a scenario, as cars are being inspected for safety, randomly selected cars would also be audited for visual conformance to general technical guidelines / policies. I say visual and general because this is not the time or place for tearing into engine, etc.

Just my $0.02

What do they say? "It's only cheating, if you get caught".
