Index right but dial in wrong in class?

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.

I don't think anyone thinks this was done on purpose. Art is rightly upset. NHRA made the mistake, it is up to them to correct it. It also is up to John Clegg to insist that there be a rerun.

JOHN CLEGG..... Art Leong technically beat you by .303 if his index had been correctly input. I call on you to insist there be a rerun and race Art fair and square. I'm sure you don't want to win class like this. Art can complain all he wants and will come off looking like a poor sport to some. You, NHRA and Art know what really happened. So do we now that it is posted on DRC. You got beat by .303 ! Now please do the right thing. Contact the appropriate NHRA official and rerun Art! Jim
