[QUOTE=Robin Lawrence;709974]I would hope/wish/expect that NHRA would tear down those entries with fast runs.

I am sure there a few cars out there that aren't 100% legal. Smart people would stay mid to bottom on the sheet and then race smart.

If we are going to have rules they be followed and NHRA needs to do random teardowns. Not just the fast cars, maybe the winner and runner up and anyone that races a pickup truck.

This would be a great idea. They already always tear down a truck for the record! May be beating a dead horse with that.

All those bogus 302 Cobra Jet combinations NEED a big HP hit!!

The truck has been down so many times we use Dzus fasteners and Velcro just to save time. 😯

So a guy goes 1.15 under on 1st run , comes back for 2nd run and goes 1.30 under , my feeling is it took some work to pick up the 15 hun, air didn?t improve that much. He cut it too close and fed up! Gotta pay if u gonna play!

Re: HP on Monday?
 

This is a heavy hit no doubt but perhaps the old way of -1.20 instant hit would have saved the combo some. His first run was dangerously close to that already so I doubt he would have tried to improve much to get number 1 spot. Also I think a few cars last year hit the -1.20 or better without penalty.
There were at least a dozen trigger runs on the combo but no HP last year so it was bound to happen sooner than later but 15hp is a heavy hit

Here?s a question I was there and saw Kevin tun that #. Great job knew he failed fuel check saw him on ladder. My question is why was he not put on ladder if he had I would have run a 10:75 car instead of a 8:40 car I?m not saying I would have won however it is A LOT easier to judge a 10:75 car instead of that Missile FS/AAA I don?t think anyone in the country realized HP on Monday if I knew I would have went to race Control and voice my opinion on the qualifying ladder. I did Email Lonnie about this and other concerns about that race. Great race not easy to protect your combo there

Hahahaha, you're still mad. Sorry that the COPO couldn't close the deal.

I've always said the stick Cobra-Jet is a VERY soft combination.
