Thanks - got it. Now I know the new class breaks. Next question: is the FIA going to publish an updated records list, putting the old records properly into their new classes, will they allow the old records to stand until they're eclipsed, or what??
For Burkland's car, this is a no-brainer, since the two Donovan engines it uses are well in excess of 8000 cc's when combined. But what about the other record holders in the old classes 9, 10, and 11, e.g. Speed Demon, which had the records in 9 and 10? Did FIA retain data on their actual engine sizes? This information isn't part of the records listed on the website.
I believe Spirit of Rett (500" Chevy DRCE engine, I think) would now hold the record in A-II-13 at 414.316, even though it just barely exceeds the size limit for A-II-12. Accordingly Challenger 2 (with its two 500" engines) could set a new record in A-II-13 if Danny can average better than 414.316. Correct?
