Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
Records are made to be broken, not to expire.

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
I agree Ed, I hate to see all those minimums as well. Yes George, they should stay until someone else takes it!! I know it's work tearing them down, I don't mind a little work occasionally.

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
Mopar is paying $500 for setting a record this year, that's a great start. That may be for Drag Paks only, I will have to read it again. I plan on collecting at the next National Open. I like Ed's thoughts on qualifying as well, we are supposed to be all about performance.

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember way back in ancient history that National Record Holders got a Gold Card. Now, there's some incentive!

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
As often as horsepower is being refactored on some combinations, what happens to the record when a car gets bumped into another class?

However, I've seen examples recently where they were just allowed to expire. I'd be okay with "forever" records, if the hp and weight changes were policed like Farmer would have done.

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
Ed, I'm so glad you started this thread, I was just looking at all the minimums and thinking how sad!!! First would be at least getting NHRA to relist them back in ND.

Re: Let's have a discussion about setting records
When (been 13 years) I got the ND, that was the first page I went to, and not for the pro classes.
