National Records

[Mike Carr]

Here is a list of some 1986 Super Stock records. Some familiar names still at it. And amazing how times (as in 1/4-mile elapsed times) change in thirty years.



And only two records here were 'minimum', as opposed to nowadays.

Nhra use to award points for ET and mph. Records. They need to go back.

I would say that most guys don't want to go through the hassle of tearing down the engine. Cost is high for gaskets and its a lot of work for basically no reward. Some racers don't build their own engines and do not have the mechanical ability to go through the tear down procedure. Most of us have been there and done that and have our certificates hung on the wall. Now we would just rather race and go some rounds.

The last time NHRA published 1/8th mile records in National Dragster was Dec. 2012.

If anyone wants to see what the current 1/8th mile records are, here is the link for Stock:

Mike you nailed it for me. I love racing but I'm not that good at the mechanic side of things. This totally scared me off from class racing plus the cost of traveling in the division. So I became an bracket racer, same driving skill set and I get to race almost weekly. But I still like to keep up with y'all and hope to give it a try again someday.
