Im not denying this but it totally makes no sense. Unless maybe the final was a heads up? Or if 1 or both cars went really fast? Why would you tear somebody down for being a good driver? Or knowing how to dial their car?

It makes total sense. It proves that the winner and runner-up play within the rules.

J Allen you better get to work, Hp was increased 116 to 599. I am sure its lack of proof reading. All in all some outstanding performance by all purchasing lead today!

It could be they are using the new "Common Core" math to calculate the Horsepower...
483 + 16 = 599

Making nasty comments about our division one officials isn't the issue here
I agree with with some of your thoughts but dont attack a great bunch of guys who work for little money and work very hard
I say we support them and thanks them for what they do

Considering what this class is supposed to be it makes all the since in the world. Problem now days is if they did a legit stocker tear down the owner would show up with their lawyer threatening a law suite because they want to throw them out for their so called stocker heads head's and intake. That they spent $13,000 on. Lets face it there are very few cars out there that would survive a Farmer tear down. If he was allowed to do his job correctly. And with NHRA's new tech it is only going to get worse.

I don't believe the Tech people are the issue. It is the fact that they have their hands tied from above and are not allowed to do their jobs.

I'm sorry I don't get it.....because you made it to the final, there's a better chance your not legal? as opposed to somebody who lost first round? Now if you got to the final beating everything on the property in heads up races I guess I get it. I'm not opposed to teardowns.I just think they should be random and/or record setting runs.

Why don't we start off by assuming that everyone will pass? Wouldn't it be better to tear down the guy that is getting paid over some guy that is already pissed because he is out?

I am fine with random after the last qualifying run.

Heck I am fine with tearing one down after the first round bye..........

(I also think they could have torn Allen down to the bare block and he would have passed!!)
