Back in the Junior Stock days most NHRA member tracks would give current record holders free entries............

I concur!!!!
(The new and Improved) Once again has proven to be a flop!
It seems "they" just keep improving things until they don't work at all, OR just plain suck!
It would seem to me, that this is just another sign that "we" are on our way out.
Why can't things that people "like" just be left alone?
What was wrong with it the way it was?
I don't get it!

You didn't set a record, it was the slo pokes that allowed such a low bar, the track developer that gave you a place, the sanctioning body that oversees and records, the parts suppliers, the fuel refiners, the gubbermint....oh yes the gubbermint...

Sorry, I just couldn't help it

We've always kept a semi current issue in the bus for records and especially indexes for all the classes. I see no value in ND now.

A friend of mine said he talked to Phil and they will be putting the records back in.

If they put the National Records back in the National Dragster, I will re-set
my record so my friends can read it. It does make a difference!!!

Got this from Phil this morning, just minutes after I contacted him:

Hi Ed,

While we will not be printing the indexes in each issue because they can change (especially in Comp) between printing, we have resumed a national records listing beginning with issue 07, which is going to the printer today.

Phil

Cool! Thanks Phil!!

Guess I'll put an "R" on the window at the spring indy division race then.
