National Records
Why are there, like, 15 Stock national records listed? As spirited as everyone seems here about having the fastest X/XX car, there are almost no stock national records on the public NHRA page. Why is that? Do people just not want to go through the trouble of getting torn down and applying for the record? For example there is currently no record holder for the class I want to run, and the minimum ET to get it is only .50 under. No offense to anyone here, but it's laughable that I could potentially apply for a national record later this year and I'm not even close to being the fastest N/SA car in the country. I'm probably not even the fastest in the county, lol.

As soon as they get rid of that stupid 2 year rule, I'll go for it. What other sport do you know where a natl record is only good for 2 years?

Re: National Records
What about the double pts meets?
1. Can you change classes between the 2 events? 2. Could you set a record at each event? 3. Set a record one day and hit it again the next day? Jim, Not sure where the 2 year rule came from(or WHY), but 4 or 5 years or not at all night make it better IMHO. |
Re: National Records
Records are no longer published in National Dragster. No money 💰 for setting a record. No contingency for records. Not a priority for racers of today. Many reasons…

Re: National Records
Back in the day someone would get into some rare air and put down a crazy number and somebody would cry. If NHRA would let it go for more years maybe more would do it. Also lack of tech guys. We went to Montgomery AL many years back to set the record along with about 50 others, tech lasted till early the next day.

Re: National Records
Lots more to it, but for a start, it doesn't benefit you much to run -1.00 at a divisional race.
Jim C, Just for the sake of discussion here, how many cars are in your specific class, in the whole country? |
Re: National Records
I really wish NHRA would rethink the national records and throw some incentive to do it. Cause I thought it was really cool to see a car with " National record holder" and a list of years painted on the car. I used to be so excited to get the Dragster and go straight to the back to see the new records. It would still be cool if some things were changed.
