You are correct Bobby B
Thorough and very well checked.
As good as any other division and they carried respect for their work..
Wade, good point.
Some us old guys need to leave something.
Right now there is no reason to try to race a maxed out "Hi Strung" combination that can set records.
The AHFS has limited everything to 1.00 or less under.
Most guys just race in bracket mode.
NHRA needs to put something out there, as such, Dangle the Carrot

I think the AHFS is the primary reason most racers don't try to set records anymore.
Set a record, get hit with horsepower, your record never even makes it to the Dragster.

IHRA used to award 5 points (max. 2x per year) for setting a record. People used to set records all the time. Used to be that the Top 10 in points had to come apart *sometime* during the year. Setting records and getting points worked hand-in-hand with that.
