I see that we have been using "S" for Unlimited class, but the rules say it is called "U". I would like to use "U" to keep it simple.

Please comment if you care, or we will change it to read "U" on the site and official records.

Thanks,

Lou

U makes sense!

Was there some reason for using S? Does NHRA use S or something? U makes more sense to me.

I think the U makes sense. Unless there is something I am missing. Was S for supercharged originally?

I got the paperwork today on the records Will Burns set at the Mason Dixon race on May 18. The new 1/4 mile ET records for A/U (and everything else) is 9.263 and the new speed record is 140.49. Will's best backup wasn't quite close enough to recognize his 9.096 as the new record but these are some awesome numbers. Congratulations Will. I sent a pm to Ryan to update the list.

Still can't believe it. Maybe this will awake some sleeping giants?? How about anyone who can even approach this with a rail car?

Greg you should start searching for a rail. Think we should see what a Ruster Rail will do!

Here is the updated list adding Will Burns new record. I believe this is the fastest slant six 1/4 mile pass in the world!

The new record is highlighted in Red.

I also updated the unlimited classes with "U" instead of "S".

I'll add the 20 points to Will's total for the season. He is currently 4th in the run for the Championship!!

Did Charles Myers' rail get into the 8's back in the day before he built his Arrow?

I thought Charles' rail went high 9s or maybe mid 9s. I wonder when we'll see all of these rail cars come out of the woodwork?

I'd love to see some slant rails.
What ever came of that aluminum head slant?

The billet aluminum head slant has been running in Howard Davis' Dart Sport for a couple years now. The latest timeslip he sent me was back in October 2015 where he ran 6.806 in the 1/8th mile.

I gave up trying to convince him to show up at a Slant 6 race.

Here is an update with the new records set recently.
1. Charlie Schmid reset his 1/8 mile nitrous record. A record that stood for 8 years.
2. Ryan Covalt set an open D nitrous record.... and set the bar low for future racers to break it.
3. Rodney Hargis broke the D Gas record by over 1/2 second followed by Ron Hamby also breaking the record on the same day. Ron Hamby is the official D Gas record holder.

New records are highlighted in red.

Hi folks,

I just noticed my D/U 1/4 mile records from the Oct 2016 M-D race are not posted. I believe Seymour received these in the late fall or winter. 13.385 sec and 105.11 MPH. Car racewt 3290 lbs.

I will try to dig up Seymour's email or posts about this. It would be great to get this updated somewhere in this thread before I (fingers crossed) break these records again...

Thanks very much,

Lou
