AHFS rules don't say anything about weight. They say you go 1.40 under the sea level index you get 3.25% HP period. If you are dumb enough to run your car light and go 1.40 under then you probably deserve a bigger hit than that. Hensen didn't weigh, no fuel check, and no tear down to verify legal motor. He got 15 HP the following Monday. Sorenson should get the same and a vacation for altering weight after the run before the scales. They are not novice racers and know better than to do what they did.

Agree 110%

I thought Hensen's deal was bad, not because I didnt think it needed to get hit but because he didnt complete the run by weighing and passing fuel check! Run should have been thrown out! Suspended?

My logic or common sense tells me that in order to complete a run and get credit for that run you need to at the very least pass weight and fuel. This should not have to be spelled out in the rule book. Anything else is up to NHRA as to what they may want to inspect
