Index right but dial in wrong in class?

art leong · 03-17-2012, 02:01 AM

It's been a bad trip for me totally.
At Valdosta my timing (crank trigger) wheel came off. I jury rigged it but at Gainesville it came loose again. This time i thought I got it fixed right. Only to find it loosening up again today. I tightened it up again and reset the ecu. I don't have a keyed balancer It just presses on (tight) so I need at least three or more runs to reset my fuel timing.
If it doesnt loosen up again? I'm getting ready for the CIC race. I wonder what they will do? Nothing I hope.
I want to win fair and square nothing more nothing less.

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

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
