Re: Index right but dial in wrong in class?
 

Art's first post mentioned that someone might have done it on purpose, and he should have never posted that. I know he's upset, and rightfully so. But I learned NHRAs policy the hard way last weekend. I DO think NHRA should be responsible for entering the dial/index correctly provided you have it clearly written on the car.

Agreed! Jim

The tower has been calling Art and John Clegg up this morning. Hopefully they will straighten this up.

Great. And thanks to the NHRA guys who answer their phones! You know who you are! Jim

I was wondering how long it would take before the Grace Cup was invoked. :)

Glad to hear you got a rerun.

The never ending saga of how NHRA is out to get him ! Like they really give a crap....

There is a conspiracy against him that has been going on for 30+ years...LOL

The dude gets a rerun and goes red by a half an hour....

By all rights and by the rules we run on everywhere...he should never have been given that rerun.....

He staged...that meant he accepted the dial-ins on the board.......saying you can't see it means you should have stopped before you staged and asked what was up there on the boards.....

But they obviously accepted his story and gave him a second shot....

So maybe he should thank NHRA for giving him a second shot and breaking their own rule just for
him.......

Some common rules we race under...

You stage, it means you accept the dial-ins on the boards.
You can't change your dial-in past a certain point....usually the head of the staging lanes.
You can't change your dial-ins for a rerun should one be needed for some reason usually a timing or computer or tree malfunction.
First or worst
Courtesy staging infraction when it's being used...
Time out on staging with AutoStart
Just some I can think of.....and someone who has been racing for a zillion years ought to know them just as well as I do.....and accept them without whinning.....

Yea I know I'm going to get blasted for being mean......but I feel like it should not have happened by the rules we usually race under....

Re: Index right but dial in wrong in class?
 

You are allowed to change your dial-in on a rerun.

Another rule people might not know is you are not allowed to work on your car when you've been backed off the line for whatever reason.

Chad the way they are explaining there were no shoe polish indexes written on the window they were running off of class index and no dial in boards in the water box?
