Brett, the incentives use to be the awarding of points for setting the ET, like 100 points and half of that for setting the mph. You can bet if points were awarded for setting a national Records, there would be no minimums at all. Besides, if racers were torn down, some may get tossed. There was a time, every class winner at the US Nationals were torn down. Every one of them.

Why don’t we set records
It’s a lot of work
My car isn’t fast enough
Nobody cares
There’s no reward
And you are talking about a handful of cars capable of it

I agree with the exception of the last point. The majority of class records are at minimum now.

This is clearly driven by NHRA bean counters, NHRA is not managed by anyone at the executive level thst has a clue about what racers or at least performance class racers desire.
