Good luck setting a record in those conditions.

This year there is no schedule for national opens in Div 7

When I last set the record (2011?) I didn't get a picture or even a line in the results in Nat Dragster. NHRA hasn't cared much since then!

I just checked the Division 7 schedule and they have posted a National Open at Top Gun Raceway, Fallen Nevada on June 1-2.

Well that’s a start, but not a place to set a record. 12 sec cars have a difficult time getting down that track. Hopefully a natl open at Redding???would provide a better opportunity to set a record

Jared Jordan suggested a National Open at Famoso right before the Winternationals but I assume the ship has sailed. Maybe a National Open at Sonoma right before or after the National event in July? It would make that race a lot more attractive, it seems car counts are down at that National event since they eliminated the LDRS race there.

We have set the National Record before at Top Gun.

We do not have any particular problem getting down
the track, not any more than anywhere else.

However, June is not a great time to set a record there due to the Heat.

Being that the U.S. Nationals is a non AHFS race, the big dogs attend to race class and all the Divisional Tech teams are there why not set records as long as the schedule permits tear down unlike last year?
