I have said for years that, at the very least, any "instant HP hit" run should result in an old school national record level tear down.

One old school tech guy once told me that you'll find less than 1% as many rules infractions among the ten fastest cars at any given event than you will in the bottom ten cars. Of course, he was speaking of the guys running traditional cars, who were consistently fast over a period of years. And, as with any "rule", you will find exceptions.

I've been told the same thing and for the longest time I believed it. I'm not so sure anymore.
Too many times I've been told "he's cheating so I'm gonna cheat too" and "you're gonna be OK as long as you don't go to Indy".
As I've said before, too many big egos.

I am not against some of the "trigger cars" getting looked at. Including mine.

Mr PJ305 the -860 under was just there average over all , and if it is over -850 it gets HP . The amount of HP was off there fastest run what was in the -1.00 column . That's how I read the new system rules . I still wonder how many combos had an average of -849 ?
