What a joke. Here is one fact that is about this race. Div director is not there or our head tech guy. Mike rice is running this race. So if you want to run fast and not get hp come to div 6. Toss your weight out at the end of the track. NHRA has lost alot of respect from its customers over this in div 6. There should have been hp given, tear down and a time out but nothing. I can already hear all the excuses by both parties. Very simular at final race of last year get caught with to big of carb at CIC race and nothing happens. This is embarrassing.

If a racer runs well, say 1.202 under, and he doesn't want to get penalized, can he just pass the scales by, then earning a DQ for that run?

You are subject to disqualification from the event, not just the run. The way the rule reads (paraphrazing) “all qualified runs are subject to post race inspections (scales, fuels, etc.). Failure to do so can result in disqualification from the event.”

Tony I don't think that would flush in any Division.

These guys have hooked up with Chevrolet and a group of engineers to bring a 750 hp electric car into Stock Eliminator. They apparently aren't worried about how the game is played as long as it works for them.

Jeff Lane has always run a first class program. Would reserve judgment until more is known....

I really don't have a dog in this fight except my brother has my old Corvette and runs the same class. Different year and engine parts. If someone makes a time shot and they are light going across the scales not matter what they went for a time the run should not count. We see it all the time. Someone DQ'd at the bottom of the list on their first time run. So if you go across the scales light even though you went 1.20 or more why should it count. What if someone wanted to ruin a combo. Drop 200 lbs out of the car go 1.30 under. When you cross the scale should that run count. Now the difference here is some of you are saying he played with weight at the top end before going across the scales. Did any of you see it? Did anyone from NHRA see it? If not run should not count. If someone intentional plays with weight after a run at the top end before they hit the scales and an NHRA official see's it different story. Be careful wishing someone to get HP it could be your combo next. BP
