Would it be possible to place the records page for the 1/8 and 1/4 miles in this section as a sticky? I know some are planning to set some new records shortly and it may be good to have them here on the site for all to see. Also the rules for setting those records on the same sticky would be great.

If someone starts the message thread, we can make it a sticky.

Doc,
Is it possible that someone can pull the records page off of one of the SSRN and post it. Or does all that info have to be entered individually?

We could post images of the rules and the current list of records out of past SSRN news letters and then someone will need to do up-dates as new records / changes occur.

I will scan the SSRN sheets and post to see if the quality is OK.

Doc,
I tried to copy and paste the records into the sticky. I basically used a copy of a screenshot and posted it. I think it turned out ok. I thought it would be ok to start with, until someone has time to scan or type out the records.

Just looking over the SSRN issue 50. Barry Harrison set a 1/8 mile "B" Nitrous record at Farmington, that is not listed, in the records page. He turned a 6.89 at 99.59 mph. The backup, however was only a 7.41, but that is still a record.

The rule says the back-up run has to be within 1%, but the slower time would still count for the record correct? We can add that to the sticky if so.
