TOPIC: New Track Record at Miller for Norm Hamden

New Track Record at Miller for Norm Hamden 14 years, 7 months ago #5569

Looking through all the race results, it looks like Norm has the new track record for the outer loop with a 2:21.140.

What I think is more impressive is that a total of 11 of the 34 drivers were faster than the previous record of 2:22.005 set by Rick Lofgren last year in the main race.

Congratulations Norm!!!!!!!

There were many laps in practice and qualifying that were in the 2:19 range. I think all of these were in the AM sessions. So there is definetly lots of potential new lap records to be set.

You better get back there next year Norm to defend you record and go for the win.

This was a great race and I can't wait to see the full DVD with in car footage.

Back in Sedona after two days of figuring out the no oil pressure.

Thanks for the congrats charlie,

FYI, track records can be gotten in the qualifying races, if someone had beeten the 221xx, the championship race time would have not been a lap record.

Hope to be back next year for more fun, track records and wins are just a part of the experience, meeting new friends and hangin out is were it's at.

Yep and practice or even qualy does not count for track records. This is per the NASA CCR's.


BTW... a 2:21.140 in race is much harder than a 2:19.282 in practice. So good work Norm. I think Dave Dirks ran a 2.21.187 in championship race so dave was flying too.
