Unfortunately for Gary is the SCTA/BNI rule different as the FIA.
As FIA you have to run on the return run the same mile/kilo as on the first run, but the FIA is only interest in the overall average - so if you was in the first run slower than the current record, it's doesn't matter.
But in the other way, for FIA you have to be 1 % perecent faster than the old record, this is not necessary for SCTA/BNI.
Hope that the damage on Gary's bike is not so much as it looks in the pits and he can run the bike again this year.
