What would you do?

I had that happen just recently when I was a spectator at a "MAJOR" race, the participant had the wrong horse power for the engine he was declaring. I questioned him about it and he said to me that you can "round down your horsepower to the next equal number". I told him that I didn't think that it worked that way, which I know it doesn't. I didn't have a dog in the fight, but I did remark to a tech official about our conversation. I didn't mention the car or the driver, just questioned the tech official. I don't know if anything was done or changed to correct the weight that the car was missing, I'm hoping that someone else caught the mistake.

If you round down the weight its 5-10lbs, if you round down the hp 5 hp that could be 50lbs, quite the difference

Round down your weight and HP? What are you people smoking? (I want some!)

[mannymen]

Mine was rounded down 7 lbs on my window sticker at a divisional this year. When I asked the tech inspector about it (not that it mattered) he said that's they way he/they do it.

Very fine line between cheating and pushing the enveloppe. Ported Acid heads are just one of the ambiguous definition of the rule. Interpretation of any laws can be taken many ways. Smokey Yunick was quoted many times saying" that if you aren't cheating you'aren't trying". How about someone who make's a genuine mistake or a manufacturer wrong number on a piston. Unless it's nitrous or flagrant use of time delay and axle counter let the tech department take care of it(most are quite efficient to find or point out where you aired.lolCR

I think Casey is saying we round down/up weight when it it is an odd number. For example my weight is 3367 in H/SA (11.5 X 278 plus 170) and it is rounded to 3365 as per NHRA.

If I can round my HP to 275 from 278 I have been giving away some weight, lol
