So I believe that takes away the desire to try to set records at 'divisional s'. That limits the races where records could be set. Since you get nothing for setting a record (other than HP) or getting credit for working hard on your combo, is it worth the cost & time of tearing down you engine?

Add to that you cannot set the 1/8th mile e.t. and mph record at 1/4 mile divisional races. ( which I do not understand since you are driving right past the 1/8th mi. timers anyways)
National Opens are the way to go for record setters, but unfortunately for racers at Div. 3 1/4 mi. tracks, that only leaves one per year now
