National Record Postings

Remember the old days when you ran under the record, backed it up, were tore down and then wrote your accomplishment on the side of the car? Your feat was then validated in every issue of ND. Made you a BMF. Sweet memories of days of old. Pete

They SHOULD at least post them in the National Dragster. Couldn't wait to go to the back and see what the new records were.

Why do some classes say minimum?

The record stays for two years and then it gets taken off the books, put to the minimum. You must run at least 5 tenths under the min. to set a record as well as passing tech inspection.

Just a little correction/add-on: Minimum are rather set at 5 tenths under the index instead of minimum number
