Looks like they need to change the warning sounds to differentiate between an illegal dial-in and entering the next pair. Or put up a warning message and not even allow the dial-in to be entered and flash the whole screen.

The starter should have recognized the problem & should have had it corrected, isn't that part of his job?
Starters job is to run the race in a safe matter. Being a starter there is allot to pay attention to. Adding the job of verifying dial ins takes time away from safety. Driver is still responsible for dial in. If the driver needs help on checking boards have your pit crew verify for you.

Had a similar experience going into round 5 Et Finals in 2007 my dial was 11.17 and the scoreboard said 11.71. I would not stage and the starter kept motioning we forward. I had my window down a little and was pointing to my dial . Finally I shut down my motor and screamed "17 not 71" and he figured it out. Was I rattled "yes" Did I lose that round "oh well"
At one point or another we all must take on little responsibility for our selves . My 2 cents .... Hope you guys understand were I'm coming from.

First of all, I have the UTMOST respect for the Golddigger...Jim Boudreau..Every racer MUST check their dial in before they stage because....with the NEW NHRA this will happen again and again .....

I think that the person who was entering the dials in Atlanta just got in trouble in his NEW job in Hawaii!
