Only with new cars that are not yet accepted will this possibly happen. Once a car is in the classguide and has been given a horsepower rating it cannot be corrected because with the AHFS, NHRA's hands are tied. The first word in the AHFS is Automatic. That means the system has to do the figuring with on track data only. There is no wording in the AHFS that gives NHRA the power to correct what is blatantly underrated. Nowhere does the AHFS wording say that NHRA can add enough horsepower to correct a bogus combo on its own. The only change they can make is to give a combo less horsepower than on track performance shows via the AHFS.
