Don't forget the AHFS is a doubled edge sword. If you work within the rules it can be rewarding.

When we first got the truck out in the mid nineties the AHFS was non existence. How performance penalty's were handed out, in my opinion, were unfair and arbitrary. Case in point, Topeka Q1 we go fast 1.00 plus under index with at least a 15 MPH tail wind. We get tore down checked and pass, we get informed we will get HP Monday. I ask the question, If I was setting a record would I be awarded the record with a 15 MPH tailwind? The answer was NO, too much tailwind for a record to be established. I could not get a record under those weather conditions but I was getting HP. Fair, I think not.
