On sunday there was quite the topic about a ruling by a tech. Now maybe the original information was mistaken, people sometimes tell people some things about a happening and it gets interpreted the wrong way. Regardless if it was the speedway or the tech who made the call, it is my opinion that rules are rules.
If one car gets dq'd for not meeting the standards of the rules then the other car should also have been dq'd for not meeting the standards.
Whether it was a wheel out of adjustment, or a adjustable cam gear, it is the drivers responsibility to ensure that the rules are upheld.
It is also the Techs responsibility to uphold the rules, whether it is illegal parts or wheels not to specks, the rules are in place to ensure fairness for all drivers. It is the opinion of most I am sure that it is the responsibility of all techs whether head tech or assistant tech, the rules are the rules, if you dq one driver for an infraction then the other driver with an infraction should be dq's as well, if you are going to overlook one driver then you must overlook both in all fairness.

Of course they should, if they don't uphold the rules then who will?

I agree 100 percent that it is the responsibility of the team to insure that the car is within the rules, and if need be they should seek out clarification from the head tech man.

I really think this is much a do about nothing . Everyone cheats at some time or another and as AJ Foyt said after getting caught qualifying at Daytona with nitrous  "its only cheating if you get caught until then its just getting competitive"

  I have soaked and re branded tires , run fuel /nitrous , illegal weight jacking devices , over displacement engines , used illegal cams heads pistons cranks rods ,switched the drivers helmet before weigh in with one filled with lead to make weight just to name a few things.

If your not cheating your really not trying hard enough.

I am appauled that you, Pinecrest, would come on this site and brag about cheating, maybe you are right, it's only cheating if you get caught, but when you get caught you get dq'd, and thats my point to all of this. 
The way I see it, is that if you have to cheat to win, then whats the point in being in the sport. You certainly are giving the name of car racing a very bad name when you brag about what you do. I guess you don't have what it takes to win fairly which doesn't make you much of a racer does it.
