One guy in a late model Mustang got kicked because he was going high nines witout the proper certs and a competitor ratted him out... The have to comply with a set of safety standards to run at the tracks and I think it mirrors NHRA's

Put them mufflers on there and join our 10 second crew...



That was my concern. I'd love to get that 9 second slip, but don't want to risk being booted for lack of equipment.
I think they look at all four of the runs (two on friday, and then the two on saturday) and eliminate those with big discrepancies between the times. A 9, followed by three 10's (from short-shifting) seems like it would be a big red flag for a sand-bagger. And as they majorly emphasize the "all out" aspect, that would also be a sure way to get kicked out of the field.
