Been catching up on some drag racing stuff just lately and in some confusion over the national records. At the Memphis meeting recently, the Army top fuel dragster won the TF catagory and is listed as the national record holder at 4.22 sec (Ithink). But during that memphis event several machines clocked times below 4 seconds. One down as low as 3.88. Am I looking at a wrong number of something ??? I still hate John Force

- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

I thought they switched to 1,000 feet for the rest of the season.
I think, and I may be wrong, that in order to be recognized as the record holder, a car has to post similar times/speeds twice in an event. If a car runs 3.9 seconds only once, then they don't get any cake. But if a car runs 4.1 seconds twice, they get cake and ice cream.

That might explain it obio. I think the other runs they did at that meeting were a bit messy. I thought maybe it has something to do with a pre-set of conditions (possably atmospheric) for a record. The 4.22 is great but could hardly believe the under 4 sec passes.....incredible, where do they get that sort of traction from.
