Speaking of records, look at how many are at the minimum.
Using them as a comparison now is moot. They do not reflect the real world performance capabilities.
NHRA has taken all the fun and glory out of setting them so you see far fewer of the go fast guys chasing them these days.

As little as 5 years ago the records page was full and then you had a real comparison of stick vs auto.
Most of the stick records were as far or farther under the index as the autos.

In the 70's, as I recall the stick records in S/SS were a full second faster than the autos.
Jerry Ryan can probably back me up on this.
