"get away with" is purely at the tracks discretion, neither NHRA or IHRA would condone it as it violates their Rules and has potential to effect their liability and insurability (track and sanctioning body). And to answer your question, at my local track I have seen an occasionally on the first never on the second pass. The sanctioning bodies are very concerned with chassis/roll bar with this type of infraction.
