The dB Drag Racing Association reserves the right to "audit" a competitor's vehicle in order to verify compliance with the rules. During an audit, the competitor will be asked to show and/or explain various features of the vehicle and its sound system.
Audits may include (but are not limited to) the following...
Inspection of the vehicle's electrical system.
Inspection of the vehicle's sound system.
Inspection of the sub-woofer enclosure.
Inspection of the dashboard, foot wells, center console, headliner, and door panels.
Inspection of the "podium".
If the competitor denies the officiating staff's request for an audit, the competitor's score(s) shall be nullified and the competitor shall be disqualified from the event.

If a rules infraction is discovered during the course of the competition, the competitor may be disqualified from the event based on the severity of the infraction and the current status of the competition.
If the rule violation is an honest, minor infraction, the officiating staff may issue a warning and then ask the offending competitor to take the appropriate action in order to address the violation. If the infraction is exposed prior to the elimination rounds of competition, the competitor's qualifying score shall be nullified and the competitor may be allowed to re-qualify once the infraction is rectified. If the infraction is discovered during the elimination rounds of competition, the offending competitor shall be disqualified from the event.
If the rule violation is a major infraction, the offending competitor shall be disqualified from the event.
105-3
If the violation is deliberate and/or fraudulent in nature, the competitor shall be disqualified from the event. In addition, the dB Drag Racing Association reserves the right to further ban the competitor from competition in future dB Drag Racing events.
