Five reasons why many don't run for FIA records even if they could.
1. Difficult for the race organizers to accommodate two way record runs when
dealing with large number of registered competitors at an event.
2. Excessive cost.
3. Lack of realistic categories, groupings or classes.
5. Disorganized record keeping.
4. Past experience with FIA has been anything but positive.
