Setting records at the single day Opens will be a little tough unless you don`t want to run elims.

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

Most opens are Saturday/Sunday. Quite a few are set each year at the Indy Open and the Dutch Classic I know.

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

I can't recall a national open in Div 3 that wasn't a Saturday/Sunday race.

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

For the past several years there`s been a single day Open at Bandimere in May. Other than that one you are correct,most are 2 day events in Division 5 as well.

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

Well, you were right about it being tough to set a record on a one day race. I would have to guess that if you did set a record, that tear down would not happen. Makes sense when you think about it. No HP for -1.20 or more, why bother checking anything.

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

Do you have the option of showing up apart, getting checked and sealed, the day before? IHRA does that, when they do a double (race each day). teardown or show up apart on Friday, get inspected, put it back together, IHRA seals it, set the record Saturday during the two time trials, they check the seals, and you run round one later that day.

We set a record at the Indy National open a few years back....and we were in the barn till midnight....no corners were cut for sure....needless to say...we didn't make first round....lol

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

If you would of had a small block Chevy you could of been out early and made first round.lol

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

Haha. So true. You guys were out about 7 hours before us at the Fall Classic.
