Anthony Bertozzi was at outside the field at the very bottom of the sheet and ran the first round of eliminations, so I'm sure no one was excluded. There were also a few solos in round 1.

The technical infraction resulted in the competitor relinquishing a class win, which occurred the previous day.


With no alternates, what is the impact to the ladder?

There was no impact to the ladder because he was torn down after the first round today. The part you reference above just meant that he also relinquished his class win in SS/GA as well as losing the round to Hebert who was reinstated.

Hope that makes sense the way I wrote it.

According to the NHRA, the car was deemed to be not in compliance at some point on Wednesday.



With this fact established, this car should not have been among those scheduled to compete on Thursday.



What about the second quickest SS/GA car in the field which was eliminated by this competitor in the first round of class?

It wasn't deemed to be not in compliance on Wednesday. It was torn down today (Thursday) after 1st round of eliminations.

That had to have been the case or his class win on the day prior would not have been impacted.

Isn't this the same car that just went 4 rounds at the Nationals in Brainerd, and just won the National event in Topeka? Are we to believe that it was legal then, but changed something and got bounced at Indy? Asking for a friend.

That is not correct. He was not torn down until today (which is a fact) and it most certainly can impact the class win the day prior which it did. Otherwise he would have been tossed on Wednesday and not allowed to run eliminations today.

I said nothing about when he was inspected.


The fact remains that this car was determined to be invalid for competition on Wednesday and Thursday, regardless of when it was discovered.


There is a point to this post.

From your post below how would the NHRA know the car was not in compliance until it was inspected which was after the 1st round of eliminations which was today?

It reads to me that you are saying the NHRA knew sometime on Wednesday which they would have tossed him on Wednesday and he would have never ran 1st round of eliminations today. That is the way it works.

Please explain your point because your posts are in conflict with each other as I read them.
