Now were getting to the point! No I haven't run faster than a 10.44 and wouldn't dare run faster than I have to. Who needs the extra weight, or grief from the other racers running their combo. When we set the C/SA record we were walking on egg shells. It was like getting grounded for two weeks for mowing the lawn if we went too fast. How fast can we really go? Hell, we may never know! Where is the reward? Of course the feeling of accomplishment and maybe some respect from your peers, but really it is just a piece of paper as Charlie Wescot puts it (although suitable for framing).
With the new AHFS how is anybody going to set a record without getting slapped?
Performance should be rewarded, PERIOD!
