state records

Did all the state records get reset at the begining of the season or what. I had top three in 7 different classes now nothing. Just curious

As far as I know state records are done for each season.

They reset every year after points cutoff

this i thought was cheezy i felt as long as your a member your record should last and if your not then it goes. at the end of the year.

would be nice if they stayed set ...

I think they should stay set until they are broken otherwise it seems like what you accomplished during the year doesn't count.

it is just a state record ...

Just reset it again the next year problem solved!

its still a record. To say I had the loudest car in this class in this state is pretty cool

I agree with Team Kracker.

I like Kasey's suggestion to, if your a member, it stays until beaten, if it is set by a non-member then it gets reset at the end of the season.

I also agree with Zach and Kasey

Zac has a valid point. Maybe we should discuss this further at the next committee meeting.

Damn...... 2 people agreee with Kasey on something!!!!!

The USACI software is programmed to use the current years database. Resetting each year allows new blood to have a "claim to fame" every season. this is good for USACI and keeps new competitors coming in.

Outlaw records and B&K are permanent but state is year to year by design.

Understandable. Maybe this is a mute post.

Possibly,but Ralph's point is understandable.gives us a little something to shoot for each year......and hold on to it.

how about a way to look at past records like we can for finals dont delete past years but still start new every year

Keeping them or resetting them, both have valid reasons to do so.

I'm on either side of the fence here.

maybe it should be called that's years state record ei. 2008 state record ,but keep the high record to even keep the young blood in to try to break it. that's my 2 cents

How do you get the State record do you have to say you are running for it or if you just happen to do it you get it and when would you know you did it? I was in SC and did street 2 class as they call it in their org beat the State Record by 3. something and they told me I did it but since I didnt tell them I was going for it I dont get to claim it. Thought this was weird!!! Is this how we do it here also?

ktsstratus ... you have one very hot avatar!!!

In WI we just keep up to date on who did what in what class. It is also available on the Usaci home site. We give out a plaque every year with your score, class, and the year of the state record onit.

but when you are running do you have to say to the judge hay this is a state record attempt even thow its your regular run also. I say If you get in the lane and beat the state record you should get it.

That's how it is. No special requests if you do the number in the state it is a state record.

all you have to be in a usaci member and doesnt even matter where you score is. meaning you can be out of your state and still set you own state record. i know i did 3rd and i was in texas and i live in louisana. so you dont have to ask no one. i hope this what you wanted to here

Right on man thanks for your help on this. Just wanted to know incase i thought i could do something again and need to tell them before i did it

glad i could help

Regardless of the state a competitor is from, the record will be set in the state it was recorded.
Potentially, a competitor could drive around all season racking up records in every state.

well im not positive on that one zach but i know for sure that i went to texas to place 3rd in the state of louisiana i dont think you can do both because your not from there, a resident can set his own state record anywhere. so now i like to here usaci opinion on this one

Zac that is incorrect. I have been to contests in several states and all records applied to my home state.
