I’m not aware of any that were set.

Looking at the top 10 qualifiers in Stock at Gainesville, 7 of the class records are at the minimum. Records in H/SA, H/S, F/SA, D/SA, FS/A, FS/I and E/SA could have been set with pretty respectable times. Not sure why people aren't taking the record if your already taking the AHFS hit?

Some of you guys would be okay without the 1% back up ,usually required for a record?

A second -1.00 might put someone's combo on the hit list. So should it not be required?

Just askin' ...for me

I dont believe you were allowed to set the record. Only certain races can you have record runs. And then a record set requires teardown.
I dont know if there were any teardown for class even.

Thats new news for me, I thought you could set a record at any division or national open race, just had to put an R on the window. However, I took a 14 year break from drag racing and have only been back a few years, so maybe its changed as you suggested.

Records can be set at any division race or national open. I don't believe there is an official rule, but in the last few years instant hp runs were required to tear down (-1.30 now not -1.20). As said R is required to be put on the window.
