Adger, mister common sens is not very proficient at the English language, but I will attempt to answer your question. I believe what he was trying to say was to get rid of the trigger so that everybody could run it all the way out without being penalized.
A couple of years I recieved HP for what Clayton Wright and Dick Moreland did at Atco. Before that, I had been persuaded by friends to put my car on a diet so I removed alot of weight in alot of different areas. Thanks to Clayton and Dick I had to put all the weight I had pulled out back in. The day prior to them setting the record, Dick called me up and informed me of what they were planning to do at Atco and what my thoughts were, if they should go for it or not knowing that there would be a HP adjustment to my car, even though I have a smaller carb. My response was "go for it, records are made to be broken, we are in a performance based class" I was not upset with them and congratulations go to them. Maybe some of this camaradarie should be applied in other classes.
If you got a fast car you should be able to go fast.
