Shy of everyone tearing down prior to an event like it's 1975 again, the only thing I can think of is a random chip draw after the final Q session. Have a racer's meeting, Every racer would sign in and put their name in a bucket. Pick 3-5(?) at random. Those drivers have 10 minutes to report to a teardown location. The downfall of this would be the extent of a teardown that was performed, to where first round may need to be pushed off to the following day. In place of this, NHRA could run an extra round or two of the other sportsman classes that day.
I would hope the threat of being an unlucky random teardown participant would be enough of a deterrent to being caught with a 4.5" crank in their block.
