01 Delete normalization of time in championship records

h3. Existing text

3.17.5 If the value of the championship record is an elapsed time normalized to ISA sea level conditions then the
elapsed time flown shall be normalized according to the following formula:

Elapsed time normalized to ISA sea level conditions, in seconds = T1 / (0.5331359 * (P1 / (t1 + 273))^(1/2))

Where
T1 = Actual pilot performance in seconds.
P1 = Ambient pressure in mb.
t1 = Ambient temperature in degrees Celsius.

3.17.6 Elapsed times (after normalization, if required), if less than five minutes shall be rounded down to the
nearest 0.01 second, otherwise to the nearest second. Distances shall be rounded down to the nearest 0.01
Km. A new championship record must simply exceed the previous record.

h3. Reason

When we had championship records like Clover Leaf Slalom where times were very short (a minute or less), the margin inevitably got smaller the faster people went, you could beat a record by 1/10th of a sec, and they were all flown in an environment with a known temperature and pressure, it was easy, and important, to make a performance directly comparable to performances at other championships by normalizing the elapsed times.
