George,

That should be an automatic rule ? No-HP til the cars effecting the class are torn down and found legal....Too many times months later those cars that which created the HP are torn down and found illegal and the HP still stands...WHY ??? The easy way to solve this is make him tear-down if he's legal give then HP, if not don't...

Bruce,
I think it best if we can solve this without name calling and blaming just one person, because we all know there's more than one person envolved in all the calls at NHRA...That said lets see if the racing board can make a difference, by simple changes and having one set of Rules for everyone.. I do agree with Bruce and many others about taking away the 2-3 tenths, this would make the index's alittle more realistic...I would also like to see everyone get torn down at least once a year.. There are many racers who have NEVER BEEN torn down and have won many races and gone fast... Everyone should enjoy in the FUN !!!! As I have said before lets start teardowns from the bottom up and that would get rid of the 1000' club .... Why can't we just race.....Bruce, by the way last year's bad guy was Bob Lang, and I know I have been racing longer than you and many others and have never had a problem with either Bob or Wesly.
I am sure I am not the only one that feels that way.. If you have a problem with those guys, talk to them directly and leave the rest of us out of your arguement... I really think we can get more done if we go about this in a calmer fashion....just my two cents, Good Luck Evan, you will do fine don't forget the racer !!! DJR,
