In the same vein, I have a friend with a 944 with an LS-6 engine. He competed at Willow Springs last season and won the series. A guy with a RUF (Porsche) who finished 2nd filed a protest arguing that my friend didn't have a porsche engine. My friend made the point that he went through tech inspection before every race and the inspectors saw the LS-6 engine every time. My friend also pointed out that he had a Porsche VIN, and the RUF didn't. In other words, the RUF is not technically a Porsche.

Point being, if you let him in, how about the next generation of prosthetics that are perhaps battery-assisted?

This maybe old, but a friend of mine use to drag race his Yamaha, he redesigned it so that he could put 300 psi of air in the frame and used the air pressure to actuate a pneumatic gear shifter. Slippery slope on rules. He was allowed to compete because at the time it wasn't prohibited.
