One more Record thread…we'll get this filled up as the season progresses and we'll do some tweaking as the discussion moves on. I know MattRobertson will be providing lots of guidance on this… I'll make the footballs and keep record 
We've decided that only one football will be issued per track…no breakdown by different models of the LX and LC platform as in the drag racing thread.
I used Matt's suggestion from previous thread to set some guidelines. Please add suggestions and we will modify accordingly.
Here is an excellent read on LX/LC Road Course Preparation from our members.
Rules and Guidelines
** No restrictions on Weight,tires, T-stat, Aero…well none really just go out and race the track…refer to equipment rules for the track you are running.
**** An Image of the timing equipment's screen (see below) showing your time, posted in this thread before football issued or updated.
Per previous discussion
Laps must be self-timed in the car, using either your own timing equipment or the track vendor's timing transponder equipment. If the vendor's equipment, either steal a time sheet at the track (they should be giving them out) or off their web site via screen shot. If your own timing equipment, take a picture of the time and thats your timeslip. Tracks are different enough that it'd be mighty tough to fake that, and if someone does they'll be easy enough to catch at it.
No fair running a stopwatch against your in-car video (I (Matt) am just as tempted to do that as the next guy) because there is no guarantee your camera is replaying at EXACT real life speed). Videos are purely for in-thread bragging rights.
There is no need to get a population running a track to get a football. Whoever runs a given track has the fastest time on it until someone else goes to that track and intercepts the ball.
Records set at multiple tracks by one individual will be consolidated onto one football.
