The car in question did not set any record. All he did was make it harder for someone on a budget to race and be competitive. Some of us don't have 20k to put into an engine. Guess I will just sell my crap and go back bracket racing..... Not to mention he ran that in the absolute best air you will ever see. Next closest car with the same combo at that race was 4 tenths slower

Jamie, my friend and others,
There's absolutely no requirement that you build a belly button combo for those classes, especially if you're on a strict budget. You're just sticking it out there, looking to get it chopped off.
I might not get many likes here, but as Quid Pro Joe says "Those are the facts, Jack"

Honestly, it just plain sucks. It was a mineshaft race and nothing should have counted. I will just have to see what mine will run in a week or so when I get it finished. But losing a tenth before it comes off the stands really hurts, if my math is right, we get 103lbs added. It is what it is.

I ain't had a national record for 20 years or so, so I got me one, I also got about 15 hp and torn down same as I did last year when I got hit. Anyone there who went 1.20 came down.

If you run 1.20 in Div 4, you comin down. And it was good to see many people I had not seen for a while. Thanks guys responding, nice to be back. No Problem really nice, good hook, new scoreboards, and lots of improvements and updated maintenance. National Open in November.
