John Clegg... Please Do The Right Thing!
 

JOHN CLEGG..... Art Leong technically beat you by .303 if his index had been correctly used and considering reaction times. I call on you to insist there be a rerun and race Art fair and square. I'm sure you don't want to win class like this. Art can complain all he wants and will come off looking like a poor sport to some. You, NHRA and Art know what really happened. So do we now that it is posted on DRC. You got beat by .303 ! Now please do the right thing. Contact the appropriate NHRA official and rerun Art! If you both are in agreement I'm sure they will have to rerun you guys. Thanks, Jim

Isn’t it Art’s responsibility to make sure his index is correct on the board before he stages?

Re: John Clegg... Please Do The Right Thing!
 

Yep, that's NHRA's catch 22 so they they can say they aren't responsible, but they are responsible! Jim

Technically I think it's the towers responsibility to have your index correct. Once you put a dial in on the car, then it is your responsibility to verify that it's correct prior to staging.

Dats right pup! Good luck to u and ur dad this weekend

Re: John Clegg... Please Do The Right Thing!
 

Why is it John Clegg who has to "do the right thing"? Art staged his car and made the run. It's over.

The check your dial rule is in place simply because mistakes do happen. It's not a conspiracy against Art.
