With the latest debate on the 1.30 under instant Horsepower and Weight,with the AHFS,is there guidelines in the rulebook that the NHRA follows before making the penalty or decision?? Do they have a meeting on Monday and look at weather that vehicle was determined to be actually
legal??? IE,,complete engine teardown fuel check,weight check all with documents that show weather or not to make a decision that could really hurt a combination and a group of dedicated Sportsman Dragracers.
The NHRA is always promoting safety and are dedicated to making the great sport Racer Friendly and trying to bring new people into NHRA Dragracing.
Sometimes in life people make decisions without really looking into what effects they might create.
If guidelines or rules aren't followed where someone wasn't legal,,then someone could build a bogus combination,with an illegal engine,and could destroy a combination out of spite!! I'm sure those people who enforce the AHFS look at many factors before making a permanent hit on a combination that people have spent tens of thousands of dollars hundreds of hours to be competitive with other vehicles in a certain group.
