Re: So.. Why aren't RACERS trying to set National records!?
I really think that the NHRA needs to have a "Stocker News" section on their website. Class racing is one of the last remaining Sportsman performance assets that the NHRA has. They are wasting it.
I say, give us 5 points for setting the record (Maximum two times a year).

With the announcement today of the possibility of revising the National event schedule moving the first race to Gainesville there would be time to get this on the schedule without conflicts. |

A National Open right around thanksgiving or later in Sonoma would be killer! With a big Baro, minus big DA till noon and 100-400 DA the rest of the day- Records would fall!

The only thing preventing me from setting a National Record is that last half of a second.Still looking for it.

Re: So.. Why aren't RACERS trying to set National records!?
Brett, the incentives use to be the awarding of points for setting the ET, like 100 points and half of that for setting the mph. You can bet if points were awarded for setting a national Records, there would be no minimums at all. Besides, if racers were torn down, some may get tossed. There was a time, every class winner at the US Nationals were torn down. Every one of them.

Why don’t we set records
It’s a lot of work My car isn’t fast enough Nobody cares There’s no reward And you are talking about a handful of cars capable of it
