new hp

[The Hawk]

With the HP letters being sumitted and granted HP or being turned down,does anyone have an idea what NHRA looks at when making decisions? I know of one V6 FWD FI combo that`s been given back at least 25 HP in a span of about 6 or 7 years to be rated less than a carburated combo and go from being an uncompetitive car to being .40 under the new indexes and doing nothing to the car? I`ve written letters and got nothing,where some have submitted timeslips from a bracket race and received a HP reduction. Not looking for sympathy,just looking for answers to what NHRA looks at.
