Red flashing alert should have shown up on the announcers computer screen too.

The flashing red alert should have gone off in the driver's brain before he staged. That's what the dial-in boxes behind the starting line are for . Make that mistake once and you will never make it again. Can't blame this one on NHRA.

The issue here is the dial-in is OVER the class index. The slowest a Stock or Super Stock car can dial is there respective index. NHRA rule.... or so I thought

Aside from the issue about a dial in over the index, just to clarify for those that may not know....when you PRE-stage, you accept the dial in. Don't ask me how I found out.

i think the dial in was backwards.

I found out the same way at the gators a few years back. Burnout boards weren't on, and it was super early and with the sun/glare/etc I couldn't see that my 11.77 was changed to an 11.17. But I staged and I owned it. Still think it's a cop out on NHRAs part.

If they started giving reruns then it opens the door to people angle shooting. Some people will start making their dials ambiguous etc... So in case they lose they might be able to get a rerun. The rule has worked fine for years.

What would have happened if Country Dog red lighted? Would he have to live with results because he staged his car? No double standard!

How about to support Jim everyone at the next national make the dial ins EXTRA EXTRA BIG across the back window! Like the whole thing
