Years ago NHRA tech measured pulley sizes in the alcohol classes with a piece of blower belt numbering the teeth like a ruler as an easy check for pulley teeth. This clearly would've called out the cheating as the space between the pulley teeth would've been counted. The problem was they were allowed to cover the pulleys as if and when the belt breaks it can take out a harness. This should've never been allowed and overdrive checked with a simple system belt ruler as tech has done in the past. Keep it simple.

Fines don't seem to hinder cheating, suspensions non-existent here. Since self tech was used, How about self enforcement from their competitors. Or self tech your competitor, like in grade school when you passed your test to your neighbor to grade. Sad to see NHRA tech come to this and yes I blame them for either never checking or turning an eye. A year and a half..... Damn!
