Setting records at the single day Opens will be a little tough unless you don`t want to run elims.

Most opens are Saturday/Sunday. Quite a few are set each year at the Indy Open and the Dutch Classic I know.

I can't recall a national open in Div 3 that wasn't a Saturday/Sunday race.

For the past several years there`s been a single day Open at Bandimere in May. Other than that one you are correct,most are 2 day events in Division 5 as well.

Well, you were right about it being tough to set a record on a one day race. I would have to guess that if you did set a record, that tear down would not happen. Makes sense when you think about it. No HP for -1.20 or more, why bother checking anything.

Do you have the option of showing up apart, getting checked and sealed, the day before? IHRA does that, when they do a double (race each day). teardown or show up apart on Friday, get inspected, put it back together, IHRA seals it, set the record Saturday during the two time trials, they check the seals, and you run round one later that day.
