barnettracing should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Right, a poll has been added. 'Yes' or 'No' depending on whether you think the Mallory (and potentially Cadwell/Oulton Fosters) lap records should be discounted for being set on Dunlop tyres; despite there being no major circuit changes at the aforementioned circuits.

I shall also have a check through the Blue Book to see if the MSA give any guidance on lap record stipulations, as I don't believe that kerbing/run-off changes and resurfacing null and void previous lap records. Otherwise:
- Mallory doesn't have a lap record (thanks to its 2011 resurface) and lack of subsequent FF1600 racing at the circuit
- Silverstone's lap record will be set in 2010-onwards thanks to resurfacing and kerbing changes due to the Arena GP modifications
- Brands Indy and GP don't have lap records due to Druids changes over this winter (2011/2012).

Thoughts from everyone? At the end of the day, it is probably better for all the competitors to accept the current lap records, rather than let them be dictated by stipulations that some people may not agree with.
