National Records ?

Billy Nees · 03-07-2020, 07:43 AM

Back in the "good-old-days" there were incentives for setting and being a record holder. Today, not so much.
IMHO, the guy that wins Class at Indy is the "Record Holder".

Setting a record should be everyone's goal in class racing. There is no prize, other than to prove your legal. For me it was many years of working toward that goal, and proving to myself and my peers that I passed teardown. It's unfortunate that NHRA does not post the record holders in ND like they did years ago, as that was another incentive for many.

2020 National records were set by Jeff Teuton, Bill Dyer, and Kelly Lane in Stock.

2020 National records were set by JB Clegg in Super Stock

Congratulations to the 2020 national record holders!

Thanks for the newer list ! Got the older list by Googling. Thought since it had the Pro records from late '19, it must be current.

Why are the old records reduced to minimums, so quickly ?

Looks to me like if you set a record now you risk getting a hit on the engine. With the price of lead these days and getting horsepower I assume most that can are not interested. Don Jackson

I was involved in a car that set a few national records in the late 70's early 80's. I still think records are worth attaining and I too was shocked to see so many at "minimum". I know if I ever get things worked out I'd go for a record, just something I've always wanted to do.

Is there a set rule as to how long they will leave a record on the books, before they erase it & go back to a minimum ?

2 years ? 3 years ? OR ???

A few of the records in Stock were set in 2018, so let's see how much longer they stand.

I believe a record is erased and set back to a minimum after 2 years.
