Disgruntled in AM

I pose this question to Steve G or any concerned AM'er. When Roland was in AM his 3.6 was a complete engine swap and I can see AM due to loop holes in max displacement points etc. However, how does a 3.6 widebody with Webers and running slicks for timed runs slip into AM? I realize its the last TT and it doesn't affect the AM winner outcome , but it needs to be addressed. Please prove me wrong and lets see how the car made it into AM.
