Can You Adjust Your Dial After The Burnout?

[442OLDS]

Speaking of dial-ins,I'm guessing that the dial in was NOT supposed to be 11.17.Maybe 11.77?

11.77 was clearly on all 4 windows of my car. My fault for not seeing it on the scoreboards but it's a hell of a way to lose a round. I have a interesting pic I'll post in a few

In case there is any question! I went to the tower and was told "you should have told the starter". Now I admit, that would have fixed the problem, but us racers have a million ways to lose on our own you'd think NHRA could refrain from being the cause of it. At a local bracket race is one thing, but these people are supposed to be professionals

This is why I dont race nhra events anymore they never take responsibility for anything that happens,it's allways our faught some how,
got screwed two week's in a row that was it for me.

Most every track I`ve been to gives you the lower of two dial ins on the windows. Allowing a racer to change that late is complete bs.

Wow - The legend himself! Not too many people know this, but the guy on the right was one of the head wrench turners for Sox & Martin back in the day. If Stock is a direct descendant of the firt Pro Stock cars, this guy is the Godfather of Stock!

Dont give that dirt bag that much credit!! That is the same guy that back in the day was on welfare and was going racing!!! NICE!!!!! A new set of slicks? Or feed your kids? Stephenson might have a little money now but that still cant buy him any friends or any respect!!!
