Fake battery, dq or not

Here's the NHRA's response, as of 5/26/2015 -

"The NHRA disqualified a competitor from the 2015 Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway for violating NHRA Rules, particularly Section 10A, page 10 of the 2015 NHRA Rulebook under Electrical. Tech inspectors discovered a false battery was installed. In addition to the disqualification the competitor will receive zero points for the event and the event will count towards his quota. The disqualification is not appealable."

The way I interpret the above statement is that if you show up to an NHRA-sanctioned event with a false/dummy/fake battery installed in your race-car, and are caught, you pack-up and go home!

You obviously can avoid any drama by not having a false/dummy/fake battery installed in your race-car, knowing that the Tech Inspectors have been checking for this, but some folks must think that they'll never get caught!

I not sure what happened at Epping.
