So I can qualify any way I want! If my opponent red lights or breaks, I can lift if I want to! It's my choice.
When the AHFS came out I was told by a tech official it was my job to slow my car down to NOT get horsepower. So if I want to lift to prevent that, oh well. I can live with myself. I know some diehards disagree, but that's how I race. Sorry if that offends you!

Seems like too many worry about what others are doing more than they should. For the most part, everyone has a pretty fair idea who can run fast regardless of where that racer ends up on the Q sheet. Just as an example, Dan Fletcher has a very fast stocker, rarely ever shows it but we all know who builds his bullets and you know a guy of his caliber isn't about to let himself be outgunned in a heads up run. It's pretty simple, run your own program the way you want to and quit worrying about how others choose to run theirs. And if you really have to know how fast others in your class run, a subscription to Nitro Joes stats is an excellent tool to have.
