I'm pretty sure the certification is void if the car is modified after inspection and that the sticker is only meaningful in the world of NHRA. The NHRA lawyers would only have to prove the car doesn't meet any specs listed in the rulebook.


Ambulance chaser: "Well Mr. NHRA representative, if it doesn't meet specs, why is your sticker on there saying that you certified that it does? Can you prove that it was altered after your agent certified it? Shouldn't you have reasonably anticipated that modifications may be made in the normal course of the use of that chassis and adjusted your certification process accordingly?"

Stupid people managed to sue GM and win because they had 5 pounds of junk on their key ring and it would rotate the ignition switch and shut the car off while driving. Juries rule in favor of idiots who cause their own problems everyday. The sticker makes NHRA liable for confirming the chassis meets specifications. Why would they haphazardly be OK with leaving themselves open to the whims of a jury who know nothing about any of it? They take all of it seriously and are quite proactive about it.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
