Records/Minimum

Ed Carpenter · 05-26-2011, 05:38 PM

Records seem to be filling up with minimums. H is open but until i can set it with a respectable number I won't try. Ed

Ed, I think that would be the results of not being able to run your car out to set a record with out getting your combo hit with HP. Guess we can start a 1000' record club to see who really is the bad ***** in each class. I personaly belive there should be points or other rewards for records. Also could the results of the THEYS who ever THEY are that wants s/ss to be more of a et class instead of a performance base class like it always has. I would like to see class winners at national events get to race I don't care how fast they are.Just my wishes.

Does anyone else agree with me that all records should stand until someone breaks them? Is there a good reason they go back to a minimum? Am I missing something?

They should. I think it'd be much more interesting to scan down the list and see that nobody has gone faster since 1989 or whenever. Or that the class is just that sparsely populated.

Jeff, back when my hair was still brown ET records were 200 points (2 rounds at that time) MPH records were 100 points. I agree, records should be penalty free should be awarded points and should stand until broken. But, they never ask me. LOL!

The whole new AHFS deal in my opinion truly sucks, its kept me from racing much, its taken the fun factor out of it all for me. Since I started racing at 16 all I ever wanted to do was make my car faster, it all seems pointless if I cant use my head to better my car.
