I was looking at the records page in my latest national dragster. It's ridiculous how many minimum's are there in Stock and Super stock. Nhra needs to do something to encourage racers to want to set records. I have just a few ideas.

1. Earn 20 points for setting records (One per calendar year)
2. Earn 250.00 for setting record(One per calendar year)
3. Free products from companies (Nhra would find companies to participate)
4.Nhra devotes one full page in dragster for anyone setting records( That way the car and driver are recognized plus they could include all the people(I.e. Engine builders etc to promote products used on the race car)

Guys and gals this is just some ideas I was thinking about while I'm still laid up recovering from back surgery. I don't know why this couldn't be done. Hell last year little ole me(nobody knows who I am) raised over 7000.00 in cash,products and services for the K Shootout from 23 companies. If I can raise that type money etc surely Nhra can.

Just my .02
