The problem with that is both cars are running "unadjusted" by the AHFS for that weekend. It's not like one car earns the AFHS adjustment, they get adjusted, then the second car goes out and earns another adjustment.

As much as some combinations need to be reigned in pretty quickly, two hits in one weekend is pretty unfair.

Example: Car 3xxx goes to Bowling Green and runs 1.25 under, while car 2xxx, the exact same combination, goes to Atlanta and goes 1.27 under. Either run would earn 4.25% under the new AHFS system. It certainly wouldn't be fair for them to hit that combination for 8.5%, because both cars were running in the "pre 4.25% AHFS adjustment" condition. It's not like one earned them 4.25% on Friday, they had to add the weight Saturday morning, and the second car went out and earned another 4.25% after adding the weight, or having to move up a class.

No, hitting the same combination twice in one weekend is too heavy handed, regardless of the combination. Yeah, most of the new cars need a lot of HP added to them, but it needs to be done fairly.
