If your rule book gets a little bend in it

In my opinion, there is a difference between bending/breaking the rules, and to be creative and/or engineer an advantage within the rules. Where is the line for getting thrown out for a year?...is it strickly on engine rules infractions, fuel, weight,...or could it be for the wrong hood, seat, rear housing etc. Is there a line that gets you tossed for the event vs. tossed for the year? Where can you find a list of infractions caught by officials resulting in discipline?
Or is it just the "better to beg for forgivness thing" I hear from the outlaws.

IHRA rule book on page 123 & 124 show rule infractions rated worst to least . the "toss time " is at the descretion of tech director at that time. Hope this helps.
