I could be blind but I didn’t see the 2015 Camaro 376 combo listed.

It’s there, only one run over 1 under so no review with avg not meeting the threshold anyway.

7 combo’s get adjustments by AHFS, meanwhile there’s pages and pages of HP Requests from Competitors. None of this is illegal, of course, and if the rules allow it, we, as competitors, should take advantage.

That said...something tells me NHRA’s going to put a stop to this. Feels like, by the number of requests/adjustments, that the use of the process is much less...subtle...than it has been in prior years.

Jared, keep in mind this is the first year of only one review period.

"Take advantage" are the key words as a list this long seems to mean that racers are taking advantage of the system and even worse, of each other. Writing letters instead of working hard, just plain terrible.

Same rules as last year I think, I could be wrong.

Rather than begging horsepower reductions, I know one B/SA car that is busy making more power. I'm sure you'll see it next year.

It’s the usual SUSPECTS year after year. It is a shame because there are combos out there that really need ASSISTANCE ....Wonder who will be the first one that walks around the pits with their CHEST stuck out after they record a one second under run ?? ......

The numbers from Indy could become very useful when dealing with sandbaggers asking for horsepower reductions. Let's say if a competitor has already run more than 1.00 under with the same car and combination within the past 3 years at Indy, that he/she is not elidgeble for a reduction. Also, if a racer asks for and receives a reduction and then lays down a pass of 1.00 or more under at Indy the following season - then that combination should get all the horsepower back.
