Brett.
I would really like to know who decided to go outside the rules and favor one or two racers. So do you think I would get any kind of answer asking NHRA, but I will try.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. We hope to see y’all soon. Safe travels and good luck.

Not sure of what answer NHRA would give you, but as much as I enjoy this site, the answer you seek will not come from here.
All the best!

Not sure of what answers you may get from NHRA, as wasn't it them that made this move in the first placer??..

I think there are better educated responses here, rather than some Johnny Come Lately that NHRA believes knows their stuff, just because they know somebody and got a position.. just my opinion..

Guys,
The last sentence in the AHFS explains the math.

"Adjustments are rounded up to the nearest full horsepower even if the fraction is below 0.5 horsepower. As an example, 2.15 horsepower is rounded to 3 horsepower. The quickest run, by the combination being reviewed, is used to determine the adjustment percentage. The decision to adjust horsepower or to increase the index will be at the discretion of the AHFS Committee.
