HP adjustments after the Dutch - posted

I can't believe that I am the one that is going to bat for a chevy racer!!!!!!! (have run Fords all my life) The racer in question was not randomly torn down. He is a hard working racer who thought he was setting the record with a car that would pass tech. Instead of jumping on the brakes at a 1000' like so many of you, he wanted to set a record! I'm pretty sure that would have been his first record. I'm also pretty sure that his engine builder just made a mistake. I've never met Mr. Tilburg, but I have been beaten by more than one of his engines. That year off thing has always seemed strange to me. Unless you are doing something like nitrous or anything flagrant, it never made sense to me to get kicked out for a year! This used to be a performance based class so getting parked for working in a gray area never made sense to me!!!!!!!! I do believe that anyone who hits a trigger should have to pass a teardown before getting everyone HP. Bob Moulton
