Why are there so many good runs at Pomona?

I really have to go back and look. I thought I remembered the total Pomona drop was something like 12.8 feet of drop from the starting line to the finish line. Of course it drops further after the finish line.
And NHRA does allow 1%. Total of 13.2 feet from starting line to finish line. And in their statement was- "Zero tolerance."

I remember hearing on ESPN a few years ago that it was a 14ft elevation change from the starting line to the finish line and that is what NHRA says is the Max allowed (of course).

I recall 1% in NHRA print, and like Buzz said, zero tolerance.

If they are out of spec can we get a court order to stop the race?

Can we seize control of NHRA?

The Fairplex also runs downhill. I think it's a 12' fall from starting line to the sandtrap.
