The primary safety equipment on the newer cars is the plethora of air bags so this was his concern. I left a little information out, he asked if I altered the chassis, removed any airbags or altered the factory seats or seatbelt system. I said no so he let me run in the 10's.
I personally think he had a lot better understanding of the ruling than the guy who said I could take the drag radials off and then run without a bar. That is just dumb.

Ok, ill put it this way........ How did you prove you had air bags? You didn't physically show him anything.? Nope. I could have every air bag removed and no one would ever know. That's why "air bags" is no where in the rule.
Unaltered means anything different than how it was picked up from the dealership. Cab people slide by, of course. At a real ever, not a rental or a TNT you won't slide by. The car will be held to the rule.
My 2014 C7 made shakedown passes at 10.5 130 mph. 18" drag radials was all they knew about the car and it was kicked off. This was at a private rental.
