AJPE RESPONSE TO SUPERCHARGER ISSUE

This is interesting

According to Graham Light, NHRA Vice President of Operations, the AJPE Supercharger in question involved two violations. The first was a technical violation involving a rule change dating back to October of 2009 which went into effect at the start of the 2010 season.. The second involved a procedural violation. NHRA requires teams to submit parts which don't meet current specifications to tech prior to use in competition.

BUT

All Alan Johnson Performance Engineering parts are manufactured to meet NHRA specifications. NHRA is currently examining an AJPE Supercharger that was used by six teams in Pomona (Calif.) last weekend. Four of the six teams used the same supercharger during the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag season, including the Al-Anabi Racing Top Fuel team.

“The new rule NHRA developed over the winter was not intended to exclude existing superchargers, but unfortunately it did.

So if the new rule was not intended to exclude existing supercharges, Why would you submit an existing grandfathered supercharger for approval?
