Mark is right. It is .5 under the index to set a record. W/SA, for example, has an index of 16.65. The minimum is 16.15. So if I wanted to set a record, I'd need to make 1 run of 16.149 or quicker and then another run within the range to count as a backup in order to reset the record from minimum.

I'm questionning myself regarding the word "minimum" here.
The way I see it, if you make a run at 16,15 with a back up run in the range, you will have the record, It's the minimum required.

Hum, my answer wasn't clear at all. It's .5 under the index to set a new record when the word "minimum" is indicated.
Thanks Mr. Goodwin.

Thanks fellas! I got it now, I was just a little confused on the wording!

Charlie,
To me it looks like if a record is to be put in the books it is going to have to be .5 quicker than the index.
I never have seen the word Maximum so I would assume (yep I know what that does) a 1.30 or quicker run gets you in the books, but costs you..
Back to assuming... AHFS probably has a little something to do with the lack of record setting.

Adger, National open runs don't count for the AHFS, so if you want to go 1.30 under or quicker you go to a National Open.

If you had a bunch of gaskets and don't mind a lot of work you could paper a wall with records. Go .55 under wait a couple weeks then go.60under then a couple more and go .65 and so on. LOL It sure would be good practice .

Too bad NHRA will not dedicate at least 1 page every 3 to 6 months in National Dragster to list all the current record holders.

Instead, they believe we want to see a giant " grainy and somewhat blury" black and white photo from 1958 ( or thereabouts )

What a waste of page space...

Bracket 2 has invaded Stock n SS just like our borders are invaded !! There's no goin back to the "performanced " based Class !! That is on its last breathe's as everyone got their chest pumped out doin whatever they want !! With their bracket 2 S/SS "cars" No need to go n break or set records when the MASSES don't even know what they are or what it takes to be the standard of the class !! NHRA realizes this n won't print anything about it because it's a moot point in bracket 2 !! WTF !!

I took the same car apart the previous year and makes no difference to them. I know I’m done wasting my time and money setting records. I have a great time racing with the CCRA and the NMCA.

Sorry Jim, but that hotrod belongs running in J/A
