Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open
Well I got my National Dragster today and anxcious to see the highlights from the National Open, and disheartining to say the least, not one mention of the C/S new record by myself or the O/S new record by Gary Sommers. Now I know it may not be the biggest deal from the weekend ,but 5 hours working your tale off in teardown and everything passing and being legal should account for something. I guess I just thought a name mention or something would be neat being its my first National record ever. Oh well just wanted to vent a little and wonder what it takes to get some recognition in the National Dragster.It was still a cool experience for me to say the least and I know your name goes in the records in the back,I just thought there would be a little on it in the highlights.

Re: Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open
I believe that they used to report such things, don't know why they don't now.
DRM, the magazine for IHRA puts your name and picture in it. Congratulations on the record. Ron Ortiz U/SA customer satisfaction

Nice job Tim. Call Glendora to make sure you get your 8.5 x 11 certificate for your wall.

Re: Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open
For some reason, NHRA has plenty of space for happy chat by pro racers, but ignores real accomplishments by sportsmen!

Re: Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open
I feel your pain--Its the Sh-ts. My 1948 Hudson Hornet set a record and NHRA never said a word back in the 60s--Force has 4 cars in FC is that fair? Go DE Jr.

Re: Setting the C/S National Record at Gateway open
I wish more people would step up and make the effort to set records. NHRA doesn't make it very rewarding but rest assured the stocker community recognises your accomplishment. Nice job!
