>From the NAR Records Subcommittee 9/10/02


There are many CD's who are still not aware of their 
requirements for reporting NAR Records. Therefore I 
am reiterating the procedure that should be followed 
concerning new records.

Rule 17.7 specifically says:

17.7 Setting New Records
Contest Directors and Regional Contest Board Chairmen 
will examine the results of all flights flown in NAR 
Competition to determine if they meet the requirements 
for a new performance record under the provisions of 
Section 17. If the performance is a new performance 
record, the pertinent data shall be forwarded to the 
NAR Records Subcommittee for automatic inclusion as a 
new United States Model Rocket Performance Record. 
Individual modelers may, at their discretion, apply 
for recognition of a record-setting flight directly 
to the NAR Records Subcommittee by sending a copy of 
their flight card for the flight and their entry form 
for the sanctioned competition or record trials, both 
signed by the Contest Director.



1) It is required that all Contest Directors check 
all flights against existing records to determine if 
any records where surpassed. He will then notify the 
Records Subcommittee via mail or e-mail of any pending 
new records. The notification should include the 
aspirant's name, age division, date of flight and the 
actual record. The CD may also photocopy the flight 
card and the CB-170 of the contestant and forward 
them to the Records Subcommittee. Such notification 
should occur within 2 weeks of the record attempt.

2) A contestant if he feels he has set a record may 
also notify the Records Subcommittee via mail or 
e-mail. Notification must include the aspirant's 
name, age division, date of record attempt, and the 
actual performance achieved. He may also request a 
copy of his flight card and CB-170 so that he can 
forward it to the Records Subcommittee.

3) The Regional Contest Board Chairman must certify 
all record attempts and forward the name of the 
contestant, his age division, date of record and the 
actual performance with two week of receipt of the 
contest results.



Forward any record substantiation to:
