Horsepower welfare changes.....

[Bobby Fazio]

"No runs made during exempt events, National Opens, test and tune, time trials, 1/8th mile events or races within a race (i.e. Jegs Allstar eliminations, Stock / Super Stock Combos or other races that are not part of a season long points championship) are included in any review."

I don't like this. So you can sandbag and go -.549 under all year and then go -1.80 under at Indy and National Opens, and still get a HP reduction. I would certainly hope this would fall under "The decision to adjust horsepower will be at the discretion of the AHFS Committee." I get it (and still think it is dumb) that Indy runs are exempt from HP increases but they should definitely be taken into account when reviewing requests for HP decreases.
