I am not much for pounding a combo when it can be avoided, especially because of a killer air scenario etc.However, some of these combos are so soft, most racers spend more effort slowing them down than racing them. I think they will be ok with some HP. I do agree that NHRA should require a tear down. If the person that triggers refuses, or pulls weight on the way to the scale ( which has been done in D3) they should get a time out.

The way I see it is if you're capable of going 1.20 or better and have spent the time and money to do so then a factor adjustment is not going to hurt you but maybe someone else. The racer in question has set the benchmark for that combination. Other than Indy, a National Open or heads up how often do you run it out the back door anyway? Then on Sunday it's pretty match a bracket race.

Question, does qualifying at Indy and opens count against the year end average?
