The main reason that the records are only for 2 years is because they do not set them back to a minimum if the combo is refactored. Say a record is set today at Maple grove and the combo gets hit 20 hp in the next year or 2, even though that car may not make that class anymore or must carry more weight, the record still stands until it is broken or 2 years have passed. It may not sound/be perfectly fair, but it saves alot of work in the tech dept.

I agree with Jeff about records and qualifying paying points. A record, if you set both ends, should pay points. So should a contested class win. Qualifying should pay points through tenth position. And a heads up win should pay double points for the round.

As far as records standing, they should return to the minimum at 2 years, for several reasons.

I think the only problem would be bogus cars. Say GM came out with a Camaro with a 502 rated at 250hp (not that I think 502's make any more than that) and hit every record from M to AA as power got added and attended every Points Meet and National open getting enough points to win the championship without ever winning a round.

People would have a better reason to get off their tails deal with those situations, and it would be very difficult to win a championship without winning a round.

Apparently so. It went in for a minor civil infraction. I guess she got nasty when one of the other inmates tried to violate her in some way (she wont tell me what, so it must not be pretty). But being the fighter she is, she fought hard and as a result, received a felony conviction. So the 6-9 month sentence has turned into 4+ years.
Luckily, I get a conjugal visit about once a month.
And when she gets out, she will be all new. The use of the gym and workout facilities will have made her meaner under the hood and stronger in the rear with more bulging rear sections.
Yes, her family awaits her return!
