What really happened Mr. Stewart?

Correct. You could set the whole thing on autopilot. (although I do like having a human involved to be watching to make sure cars are clear on top end, no fluids leaking, etc.

The other possibility would be that the computer operator hadn't hit Enter to set the pair after putting in the car numbers.

NHRA would be smart to blame a human over the timing system in any case! Without confidence in the timing system, we have nothing. And that's one "glitch" I don't think I've heard before.
