Just my opinion....

There is no glitch. Timing systems operate with more digits than what you are shown on the timeslip. The Accutime system operates exactly as Dan described. I'd heard about it before. Johnny Davis, the track owner, has seen it a number of times, and even standing trackside knew that Anthony was .0000 when he saw it.

I have seen a .500 red on a Compulink, which is a .49999999. Try explaining that one to the racer! That was a Bracket Finals event many years ago. We had to call Brockmeyer on that one, but he confirmed that it can happen and how/when the computer will do rounding just for the sake of the timeslip printer, but it remains < .500, and is therefore a redlight. I've also seen a .00000056 MOV in a Super Rod final round (Compulink). I can't remember the operations on how they dig into the system to reveal the additional digits, but got the information for the doing the race coverage.

Yeah, it was a very competitive weekend. I think I gave it up .000x twice (got away with it once), Jim Reynolds was .000 on me (which was the other time, so I was losing that one regardless! LOL), Zac Ross was -.0007 red to Fletcher. Anthony Walton took .000x finish on one run, gave it up .000x on another, and was .0000 on the tree once.

I've posted about 70 pictures on the Loose Rocker facebook page, www.facebook.com/LooseRocker/ Here's a sampling...

We watched that race from the starting line and were confused by what happened we thought the red lamp had burned out. I can see that effecting the outcome of the race possibly.

Re: LIVE. from Richmond IHRA Div 1 Summit Pro-Am

a scotty is when someone excessively rips the throttle countless times in the shutdown area....or in this case during the shutdown and all the way to the scales

Re: LIVE. from Richmond IHRA Div 1 Summit Pro-Am

Michael, thanks for posting those sheets and saving me a lot of time chasing down what class each driver ran.
