Some body correct me if I am wrong! The record rule is, or at least was, you have to make 2 runs within 1% of each other for the faster one to stand, that means you would have had to go 13.95 to back up the 13.82. But the 13.82 will backup the 14.00. This is exactly what happened to me back in 1980, at Green Valley Texas. I went 10.90 for the SS/K record, but could only go 11.05 on the back up run, which still got the record at 11.05. When I tore down, I found half the ring land gone on number 6 piston, We buttoned it up, and still ran 11.05, in 3 rounds of eliminations.
