Grib,
At Bonneville, you qualify on a record in any timed mile where you
exceed the existing record speed. That same mile is the mile that will
be averaged on the return/backup run. ie. if you qualify in the middle
mile, the middle mile speed will be used for both runs when averaging .
You can exceed the record speed on the course in each direction, but not
get the record because no mile average exceeds the existing record. This
has happened to many competitors.
