I don't know all of the issue with his car. Luckily he had the option to drop out.

Really great Post Mike.
I also understand there is precedent for this situation and what should happen to the driver and or the the entry, but that should also gives the NHRA Tech personnel more cause to examine the entry better or to verify that a certain car and configuration can't be claimed as a certain year. With all the ease of access to information, this just really shouldn't happen in this day and age.
