You can be to light for the class or to heavy for the class. The car has to fit between a minimum weight and a maximum weight either one will get the run DQ.

The AHFS was triggered with the clocks at 1.300 under index (as the AHFS rules state "any run of 1.30 Under Index" shall trigger an immediate HP Reducution or Increase. Regardless of any possible fuel, weight check, or teardown or other DQ or anything else that happened after that trigger point. He did it, it happened, and the AHFS takes over from there. Any possible rules infractions don't change the AHFS triggering which is pretty much plain as day. The added HP is also spelled out in the formula and immediate.
NHRA posting (publication on nhraracer.com), is just a formality and notification to the rest of the world at large, as multiple events can occur at different locations at the same time. The Final Q sheet and ladder may, or may not contain DQ'd (or even successive Qualifying/Class Ladders in a case I know of), or withdrawn racers (competitors), originally entered during a specific event. As they are usually removed from further competition. If a particular pass is disallowed (weight/fuel), but the competitor is not removed from competition, as far as the AHFS violation (more a trigger point for Immediate action as required by the AHFS rules), the pass still exists, does it not? I hope and pray the above comments about certain substances was posted in jest and purely misplaced sarcasm. Please tell me it was. I found that out last April.

Sry, that last sentence belongs up 2 paragraphs. I am not editing it now.
I do not feel bad for the triggerman, I feel bad for others in his class. If you can fly, let the bird loose. We can build you back, bigger, faster, stronger Steve...lol.

Not sure why people seem to forget that all of this is at the sole discretion of the sanctioning body. My 1 cent.

So, racers want the AHFS to work….but not at INDY ..So, when a racer runs -1.30 under at ORLANDO , the run does not make the Q sheet ?? ….racer receives 15 HP BUT does not tear down ?? Gonna be a RUSH on 350 300 HP heads in the next few weeks.

I doubt it. The 350/300 in a 69 Camaro pretty much got killed 2 years ago. Even though the 255 is at 295 now, I don?t think it is worth the extra 12 hp to make the switch to a 350/300.

With the aftermarket heads it's rated at 291

Mainly the result of 15 year old indexes and zero tech on cylinder heads and intakes.

The 350/255 with a replacement head is at 285. My guess is if there?s a rush to change heads, that?s what they?ll be more likely to do.

That's a better option than the 300 combo at 291.
