Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
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.

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
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 .....

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
I think that the person who was entering the dials in Atlanta just got in trouble in his NEW job in Hawaii!
