Weight Issue Question Related to Safety and Licensing Rules

Agree with Mike and Billy on this. Chances are you can get away with it once but as Mike said if the other racer makes a stink over it you will most likely get bounced. This happened at the National Open race at Mooresville earlier this year. The racer in question was ok by IHRA rules and running an IHRA class but was bounced because safety equipment didn't meet NHRA rules. After he won his round a complaint from another racer got him bounced. Better safe than sorry I would say.

Let me say what I was told by D4 tech. I asked what happens if I run a 9.99 and the next round is the final round. Tech would inspect your car for all safety equipment and license. If all is good you get to race the finals. This includes having a chassis certification then you would be good to go. If not so sorry no ask for forgiveness one time. That is in D4 before Wesley came back.
