Yes Ed, that and much more. Back in 74 I would run Bracket1 with my Sport Fury on Tuesday nights so I could dial 12.00 since I didn't have a roll bar in the car to run Pro. The car flat out would run 11.90 ish but more than once I got a time slip in the 9.90 range saying I broke out and would have to fight with Ed for a half hour to get reinstated. He finally got tired of me being on to his evil ways and banned me for life. Ken Bowers was in the tower one night and saw the high school girls running the clocks shut them down while the last round of pro was still mid track. He complained and they told him they could see who was the winner, that explained the many time slips that would say win or loose but have no time on them. I could go on for quite a while but I'll just say, what a waste of a great track.
