Just my opinion: Many tracks lay claim to PR gimics about their track and I suppose it works to a degree. I would think if these attempts were made at 3 different legitamate 1/2 mile I.D. tracks it would mean more in the way of driver, car, and set up to justify all ways and means.
As it stands it is a Bristol only record.

I don't entirely agree with that...Sprint Cars and Supermodifieds run on 1/2 mile tracks all the time, and the Sprints in particular run at high-banked 1/2 miles like Winchester and Salem each year...so there is a frame of reference to compare what they did at Bristol to other tracks.

Just a neat link to Super Modifieds before the attempt on the record

Lots of great photos here

the sprint car and the super modied cars where great to watch setting the records.. they barely lifted the throttle going into the corners..
