Maybe so, it depends on how thoroughly they tech. IMO, it's the other competitors that do most of the teching, there are such a myriad of cars that are allowed to run, that the organization can't possibly be on top of every little nuance of every model and sub model, the competitors call out the cheaters, and then the SCCA looks it over. I think again, IMO, that's why certain areas get away with things, all the competitors are getting away with what's called a "cheater's handshake" , then when they run a national event, they get nailed.
It's not just the SCCA either....local short tracks have a claim rule, $750 and you get the winner's engine in the econo-mod class. The thing is, everyone is sort of interpreting the rules kind of liberally, so when you get claimed, the claimer has to give you his engine, which is as illegal as yours is, so no one ever gets claimed.
