Mayf; If you look at the XOB\GAlt record you will see that I have held it
since 1980. Except I have never run in that class. I ran in XX/GAlt and got
that record. Which later became XXO/GAlt in which I held the record. That
became the current XOB/GAlt class in which I now hold the record. To the
best of my knowledge no one has run in any of those classes since it was
XX/Alt. As the rules change the records are moved to reflect the current
class the car would run in. Rich Fox---lots of records on two runs
