Returning this thread to the subject of records and venue, ECTA has already set precedence regarding this. The oldest records in the book, are mine and Joe Laws, both set at the track in Ga.
I have run very close to my record time in the early years at Maxton but not exceeded it. During that period I had not made any major changes to the Merk, and It was pretty consistent.
That said, if ECTA chose to become keeper of the 1 mile cement records, it would be consistent with their past actions.
BUT, the times I ran ECTA in early years, I was NEVER scrutinized for proper class, nor engine displacement and Fuel legality. With the advent of highly oxygenated fuels, this becomes more important for "GAS" classes.
Without proper certification, I don't see any common records.
How does ECTA know what happens at Loring or Texas, if the event is run and promoted by different organizations with less discipline.
Not gonna happen.
