Well? NHMS?

Bob Blake in his ITS-spec GSMmotorsports RX7 was able to use the cool air to surpass my STL track record of 1:14.67 with a blistering 1:14.56

I still don't see how moving the timing line changes your lap time??

In theory, it doesn't but all the lap records are new since the change.

This has been a point of contention for both NHMS and WGI. The way it has been explained to me, if you were completely out of shape at the starting line, you could theoretically set a fast lap. It would screw you for the next lap, but the previously lap would be fast. If you then move where the line is located, it would change that reference point and the records should be reset.
As the T&S chief for Glen, it was a PITA to reset records to when they moved start finish about 5 years ago now. I wasn't really sure then, and I'm still not 100% the records should be reset. However, I'll be a good soldier and carry the flag for the Northeast DA of T&S. She is able to explain it much better.

The only time that I see a slight problem is if the new location permitted a car to go straight instead of making a turn just past the timing line. And the solution to this situation is to specifically disallow a lap with an 'off'. I see no reason to reset lap records if the only change was a movement of the timing line.
