1.40 under gets you hp with the old indexes which we still have. Unfortunatly it is no diff than NHRA ,no tear down ,just weight and fuel. Had this happen to me at Rockingham one year and i got hp and was behind at least 2or 3 tenths. I wish it would change. If not at least seal the motor and tear down at the next race before hp is given. Needs to be verified ASAP in my opinion.Only tear downs we have done is if a record is set. If the racer is trying to set record we usually tear down before the race and seal engine ,carb ect.... This gives the racer enough time to tune the car back and not miss eliminations at that meet.

Before IHRA hands out HP do they take weather into account?

I have to fess up I was trying to set you up
Look at what the Ihra did last year at Epping it was a joke to add HP to who they did
It was the best weather I had seen in 12 years of racing
I understand IHRA wants to look legit in sportsmen racing but how that race was done last year was awful
In many ways...

Mark, what's the difference between getting hit in killer air at Atco for going -1.40 and getting hit in killer air at Epping for going -1.40?
