Index right but dial in wrong in class?

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.
