Here is the results from the first NSSR event of the season. I tried
to scan it all into a textfile, but I couldn't get it to work. So, I
just typed in some of the highlights. I went more in depth with the
stock classes because I believe that is what more people here are interested
in.

All of these speeds are captured with timing lights at the end of 1000 feet.

I have the specific rules for each of the classes, but basically the rules
are this:

Stock => stock sled with studded track
Improved Stock => allows aftermarket pipes
Vintage Stock => sled must be 1980 or older
Super Stock => allows a speed track
Pro Stock => must maintain a snowmobile chassis
Open Modified => anything goes

All of the classes (except open modified) have minimum weight rules.

The event took place on Forest Lake in Forest Lake, Minnesota. Normally 
everybody gets 4 runs, but the event was cut short due to snow and high
winds (low visibility). Therefore nobody got all four runs in.

A world record can be set at a NSSR event. Each sled that goes faster than
the current world record mark on one of it's 4 runs must have a speed within
2% of that world record run in one of the remaining 3 runs. Due to the event
being cut short this caused a lot of problems (especially with us).

Our three sleds posted these speeds:

Pro Stock	129.147, 131.107, 125.217
Super Stock 1	122.379, 118.582
Improved Stock7	102.612, 105.237, 100.699

The Pro Stocks speed of 131.107 beat the previous world record of 130.513
held by Marv Jorgenson. However, Marv also set a speed of 131.107 (It's
hard to believe, but it's true). We officially tied for first for the event.
Our next speed of 129.147 is high enough for a backup for the world record,
but Jorgenson's backup speed was higher...therefore Marv Jorgenson officially 
holds the new Pro Stock world record.

The Super Stocks speed of 122.379 took first place for the day. The world
record in this class was open due to class reorganization from last year. Our
next speed of 118.582 is NOT within 2% of 122.379, therefore it does not count
as a world record. The record in Super Stock 1 is officially 118.681 held
by Vince Roberto.

The Improved Stock also took first place for the day with the speed of 105.237.
But, again, the next speed of 102.612 is not within 2%. Fortunately, the 
102.612 also beat everybody else, and the 105.237 can count as a backup for
that. Therefore Cathy Anderson (our driver) officially holds the IS7 world
record.

WHEW!!
