National Records Poll

Adger Smith · 10-22-2024, 08:05 AM

The 8 records in Super Stock
Record vs Index
SS/CA 8.86 10.05 -- 1.21
SS/KA 10.49 11.25 -- .76
SS/BS 8.92 9.65 -- .73
SS/AM 8.00 9.00 -- 1.00
SS/CM 8.88 9.50 -- .62
SS/FM 9.86 10.50 -- .64
GT/QA 10.74 11.75 -- 1.01
SS/TB 8.94 9.90 -- .86

5 of the 8 fall in the AHFS averages
3 are quicker than 1.00
The numbers seem to show that
assuming the records will impact the AHFS is assuming alot.
Only 3 out of the 8had real impact on the AHFS.
These 8 may not be the fastest in each class, but they are the record setters. They put up a number that says "Go faster than this and you will be the record setter"
The list of "Things to do" by JRGrossi Jr. are (IMHO) good reccomendations, with the exception of the number of qualified in the field. In this day and age as expenses increase an all run field seems fair to me. "Qualified fields at all national events. Raise the quotas and qualify 32, 64, or 128" seems to be more "Elitist' rather than an incentive.

Looking for info about Captain Jack and another racer who set records this weekend @ Indy. Would like to give them shout out on tonight's podcast 8:30EST. Also want to make sure their info is accurate for the December issue of National Dragster.

I know Brian Oakes set the SS/CA record at Rockingham this weekend
Brian and I where the number one qualifiers this past weekend

I learned in Comp you can't refuse a record. Shouldn't it be the same in S/SS?

To set a record in SS I always had to have a circled R on the windshield.
I haven't checked the rule book lately, but if it like in the past that "R" was a requirement. The first run under the record always counted as the record and the second run was the back up. I think the last record I set was in 2008 and things might have changed.

I have set the national record a couple times pre horse power penalty, would I do it again heck no! Way to much work for a piece of paper that means nothing to anyone but yourself. But that's just my opinion.

Bobby, Capt Jack set the U/SA record and Mike Taylor set the K/s record at the Indy fall classic ?
