Default Re: nhra records

"Minimum" means no one currently holds the record. NHRA has established that the minimum for a record is .5 under the class index. Records expire after 2 years if no one betters them.

Racers can only set records at national opens or points races and only during designated run sessions. A racer must declare he is making a record run for the run to count as a record. If a racer doesn't want to set a record, they can still run faster than the minimum and it will not count as a new record. If a racer sets a record, he has to back it up and then the engine is torn down and inspected.
