[Land-speed] NASCAR non-LSR

[James Tone]

It's obvious that Glen gives out time in speed or MPH. So they are speed trials.

In the far distant past of the SCTA the timing tags had many numbers on them. 

The time, in seconds, was over a 1/4 mile piece of dirt and that time was listed on the tag. It was converted to speed and that too was listed. 

I believe this way was dropped after the war when the 132 feet was begining to be used. Glen can correct me on this because he was also driving early drag car. They used the 132' but I don't know the exact date. I imagine it might have been at the Santa Ana drags on Eddie Martin Field.

Just like the decals

 I have come to agree.  What 
  we do is Time Trials.
