Hey J.D. or Dan -- what's a blue timing tag mean (other than it's not a red)?

I guess we'll have to ask JD at the lakebed because he has bailed on this deal.

I thought it might be for a "Performance Award" -- when you set top time (but not a record) in a class with 3 or more competitors(?).

I don't have any blue tags.
The designation should be printed on the tag because the color is not universally understood.
RECORD
CLASS WINNER
 TOP SPEED
TOP SPEED OF THE MEET
LARGEST ROADSTER
SMALLEST ROADSTER
SAND BAGGIEST
BEST USE OF MONEY
MOST USE OF MONEY
THE BROWN SHORTS AWARD
Well you get the picture.

I made another mistake...I posted a correction will on the on the wrong subject. The orange Murov tag is a performance tag, not a record tag.

I think all record tags are red. Jim, look at your blue tag - maybe World Finals?

The "Old Man" that set up the blue timing tags says they're Bonneville tags.  Black are El Mirage tags. The red tags, denote a record at Bonneville or El Mirage.
