Well, I started this thread, so I might as well add some fuel to the fire...LOL... In yesteryear the final round counted as a record run. Right or wrong??? If nothing less, it helped eliminate the "soft combos"....it kind of worked like the AFS today. What about any "heads up" run in a National Event triggers a National Record (and tear down)....again, for conversation purposes only.

At the right time, when the barometer tips slightly above 30.05 and first session in the morning at either Woodburn Oregon, Seattle Washington or Mission British Columbia, it can be mind boggling. I have been there at all three tracks here in Division Six. All three tracks are within about 175 ft of sea level with lots of oxygen in the air. All the time and effort you put into your combo is rewarded and the fix you get from drag racing lasts well into the next week. Ha Ha.

How do you guys feel about someone's hard earned, well deserved, national record being wiped out by the "minimum" after a length of time goes by? I have no dog in this fight, but I always thought a record should stand until its truly broken by a quicker or faster car. My 2 cents.

Has anybody ever proposed the idea that if you set the record, you don't get refactored?

That sounds like a pretty good proposal to me. If you get the record you stay clean, if you don't, the hp adjustment is coming.

This thread makes me wish Memphis was still NHRA. Seems like the October events there could be really fast at times. Weather was always crazy over there during that time of the year though. I remember when Scott Geoffrion got the record. Had to be 50 degrees that night.

BG Ky. in Augest. It is not fast , but if you do set a record it sure makes it easer the next week at Indy!

That worked pretty well too.
