That is one bad unit, they still know that you weren't going to be light or use some unapproved fuel, we all know you were planning on trying to beat Pat and if you did you would have scaled and fuel checked .. and it wasn't a heads-up ...

I asked this question many years ago after receiving a horse power "adjustment" and was told that the ahfs does not consider fuel, weight etc. It simply states that a combination will receive a hit if it runs fast enough to trigger the system in any way shape or fashion. I beat on this subject for a long time but the horsepower remained.

wow glad they didnt get tangled up on the scales? 1.20 under in bracket mode killing 10 mph or 1.50 under the old index wtf scales, fuel ,piss test ,it dolesn"t matter that bitch needs HP

It's only been a few years ago that any automatic hp hit in d3 would be torn down. I remember Tony Goodman going 1.40 under the old indexes and having to tear down. He didn't pass for something small like a couple of thousandths in cam lift. He didn't get hp. Travis I thought that was still in force. That being said, I can't imagine anyone staying Sunday night to tear that thing down.

Charley Bob, a few years back, i think it was 2007 a racer at an open in ca. 1980 305 malibu wagon wanted to get a grade point for the next year, didn't have legal motor for car, so he put a 350 motor out his bracket car and ran 1.35 under old index, almost got us hp. I saw the run listed in nitro joe`s stats and called him. Tom

We got torn down, found legal, and got horsepower in Chicago last year for running 1.20 under.

But another car that got a hit for our combination three times was never torn down until he tried for a record. So we got at least three bogus horsepower hits on our combo. And frankly it may even be more because I think my car is the only one in our combo to get torn down for 1.20 under.

So, now we are carrying more horsepower and weight, than is fair, based on the treatment of other cars, and combos.

Do I think we have a bit of space between where we started and should be now? Absolutely!

But at least let us race according to the same rules as everyone else.

If we run fast and legal and deserve the horsepower we take it, and don't complain.

But how fair is it to let an illegal car punish us time and again with HP. I say that you should make sure everyone is legal before the HP hit comes.

And if someone is illegal, and admits that he always has been that way, why don't the HP hits he got running that illegal engine all come off?

Good question Charlie Bob.... Let me know if you get an answer.
