National Records

George, I personally think it is a very good thing that records expire in the case of class racing. Because when a unfairly factored combination sets a record it could stick for a very very long time, which would be entirely disheartening for people who run legitimate, reasonably and fairly factored combinations..
So let the record expire after a reasonable period of time. In the meantime, hopefully the bogus unfairly factored combination has been properly re-factored. If the person wants to set it the record again, they are of course free to do so.
Or, as is the case recently where a very unfairly factored combination just doesn't get hit, or 'wont' get hit for 'certain' reasons, it gets moved into its own separate classes where it can have fun with other similarly grossly underfactored engines and allow the rest of us with reasonably factored combinations to have a chance.
