Possibly go back to the days before the AHFS, where a combo got a fixed number, say 5hp, at NHRA's discretion, no matter if the car was in a 25lb class or a 5lb class? Lowering the indexes is generally an unpopular idea. I know it would probably never happen, but I think that cars making very fast runs, especially when it is fast enough for an instant hp hit, need to be torn down to verify that the car that is about to "ruin" the combo is, at the very least, legal.

That?s what just happened NHRA made a decision
I think the reason why the decision was made this way was that the fuel check wasn?t kosher
There was no fuel check that round
He made the run realized what happened going too fast and then the Fuel came up bad
That sort of like manipulating the AHFS
So NHRA put the hammer down because the fuel check issue was questionable I think
It?s a shame. The car should?ve been tore down
Whether the fuel was bad or not, and everyone would be happier, I guess
