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?
