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.

Same thing happened to us at Calgary mid 90's, 1st run set the record then it rained, waited all day the rain stopped, cold front moved in picked up over a tenth 2nd session, no third session to back up the faster run so i got the record based on the 1st run using the 2nd run as back up.
