Every effort is made to properly inspect all cars for proper equipment.
From time to time, something may pass through Tech undetected, or a racer may have personal knowledge of illegal equipment or safety deficiencies. NHRA-style protest procedures are in place for 2001. Protests must be accompanied with the corresponding fee, paid in cash only, as outlined below. Petitions shall not be examined. The protest fee shall be forfeited, minus technical fees, to the car owner should the protest deemed to be without merit or if the car is found to be legal.
