Sounds like they should have rerun you Art. Bummer.

I don't think they will rerun it. But I checked all the ss indexes and there are None at 11.40
Someone screwed me. They put a dial in where there was not supposed to be one.
Sounds to me like the time we ran the final round three times at seattle. But the a$$holes didn't realize we won the Grace cup once we made it into the final. At that point nobody could have caught us.

I just checked drag race central my index is now 11.40 (according to them)
Looks like we have a new and improved Artie Leong Rule.
Step 1 add 13 horsepower to 152 horsepower. when the car never went fast at a national event. (there rules at the time)
Step 2 change index from 13.85 to 11.40 Their list doesn't even go that far A 2.45 index hit because I went 8 tenths under the index.

It was 11.40 from the C/SA run that was before yours. They never changed it, I realized it was wrong right when John cleggs tree started coming down. Really crappy way to lose

Art

The Index deal is just wrong on several levels.

Hope cooler heads prevail.

This should NOT be allowed to stand! It was their fault and Art got screwed. They reran another miss dial, why not Art's? Come on NHRA show us you do care about doing the right thing. Correct YOUR mistake!

Art, who did you run against? Are they willing to do the right thing and rerun? Jim

Art,

1) I know you're upset, just like I was last week, but insinuating that someone might have done that to you on purpose is not going to further your argument. It was a mistake, one that sucks for sure, but as was gone over in the thread about my 2nd round loss at Gainesville, NHRA's position and rule is that it is our responsibility as a racer to verify the correct dial in.

2) you should really invest in getting a keyed balancer and having a keyway cut in the crank. If it spins on the crank, it will never hold properly again. It also sounds like you have a bad harmonic damper to begin with if your timing wheel keeps loosening up.
