All other comments notwithstanding, I remember being told by the fine
folks in tech and impound to "...have the motor measured after your
FIRST record of the event..." even though they will seal and let you
keep running if that's what you prefer, putting off the measuring (and
need for putting things back together so you can keep on running) until
you're done for the week. But what if you break the motor before you
get it certified, they ask -- they won't/can't measure a broken motor,
and no measurement means no record.
At this year's SpeedWeek there was a sign posted at the motorcycle tech
trailer: "Set a record today? Get your motor measured TODAY!"
