I haven't got it confirmed yet from Frank Kohutek, (Div. 4 Director) but Mike Baker told me today that most of time if the race is contested on the 1/4 mile, then only the 1/4 mile record can be set.
Maybe Mr. Kohutek will call me back.

If that is true, then that sucks. If a racer is going thru all the trouble to set a record and teardown, and the 1/8th mile timers are already on anyway, then why not let 'em go for both records ?
