Default How Does This Happen

Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed
32 Doug Duel 2124 Jeff Strickland
E1 ****WINNER**** 0.054 10.507 124.41 0.032 9.415 129.58
C/SA Dial: 10.50 (+/-): 0.007 FS/B Dial: 10.50 (+/-): -1.085
Qualified: #6 10.447 -0.953 #35 9.354 -0.646
Strickland with the starting line advantage, but took too much stripe to give Duel the win.

Strickland gets dialed .50 of a second over the FS/B index of 10.00. NHRA will not let a racer dial above the Index.

Looks like a bad dial to me. He probably dialed a 9.50, but the tower fat fingered a 10.50. He might have not checked the board before staging and accepted it.

DRC misprint?

Nobody is going to take a second of win light. Especially somebody like Strickland.

I thought NHRA had a program that would not allow a dial above the class index.

This is very common. Any time the dial in is incorrect initially it doesn’t always get corrected on the results.

DRC had another misprint on O’Toole vs Foley in Rd 3.
Should’ve had Foley at 10.90 not 10.40.

What the other Cooter said happened on this run as a matter of fact Foley was about to stage when he noticed his was wrong and they changed it.

I watched this on NHRA.TV live and it was actually 9.38 dial for Strickland and the handicapped start happened. I remember is was pretty close but didn't do the math to see if it was right that way or not.

I did my burnout, went through my routine and always check the boards before I roll into prestige. I looked and 10.40. I pointed to starter and they changed it.
