Nice touch and awesome sportsmanship.

I was on my convertor racing Edmond when the tree went nuts and they pulled us out of stage & tried to fix it. My only problem with the whole deal is I heard they told anyone who went red to go home. If you're going to offer a re-run to the WHOLE class, then re-run the WHOLE class. It is NHRA's responsibility to provide us with a functioning timing system and fair playing field, especially at the signature event, INDY. In my opinion it would have been the right thing to do to reinstate those who went red. I felt bad for those who were eliminated and didn't get the second shot. I believe they even let the car with the 2nd round bye have two bye runs so why not be fair with everyone?

Just my .02 cents worth.
