Let's have a discussion about setting records

[Adger Smith]

Ed,
Something that everybody at NHRA and the track owners are missing is the Promotional aspect. The Divisional track owners have a tool to draw spectators if they would use it. Records aren't just for drawing racers.
NHRA sells the divisional packages to track owners. NHRA is slighting the package by not selling the idea of tracks having record competition.
Back in the day Green Valley would advertise that XXX records were set at the track. It is a tool to put butts in the stands, if track owners would use it as promotion.
