For the list's education, when the SCTA/BNI incorporated the USFRA records
into a unified record list some of the supporting documentation was lacking.
The SCTA tried it's best to level the field. The 200 MPH club is not
affiliated with any of the sanctioning groups, SCTA, BNI, USFRA and sets its
own standards and procedures. If you have a question about club entry speed
in your class contact the club reps.
