quote:Neville said: I am only advocating prevalidations in those cases where records are likely.
I cast my lot in with Pete Riegel on this Prevalidation issue. For a record, under the rules, if the validation is done as a prevaliation it must be done within the two weeks before a race. Therefore the prevaliation would have to be redone each year.
I think it is better to just wait until somebody posts a possible record time and then do the validation.
I suppose, for an elite runner, who is out to set a record, having a pre-validated course might be nice.
So add a box on the bottom of the entry, shirt $20, parking $5, prevaliation $500. If they think they are going to set a record, let them pay for a pre-validation. Personally I think most will risk it and wait till they set the record.
