National Records

[Bob Mulry]

Hi,

To answer your question.....

Sportsman National Records cannot be set at National Events.......

The run resetting the record must occur during qualifying, the engine sealed, an R with a circle around it on the racecar during the back-up run (run has to be within 1% of record setting run). Resetting the MPH record can only occur during a resetting of the ET record.

NHRA will inspect car and determine if the Class requirements are met and if so a certificate will be issued.....

Next you get to put your racecar back together to race the Eliminator

That's it......

It seemed like a good idea at the time.....

Back in the day we got extra points for setting records but that was a long time ago.....

We had our car taken apart 7 times in one season because of resetting National Records and Low Qualifier. That was over 10 years ago...

I lot has changed within NHRA, including rewarding performance...
