So, what should happen to

[Bob Mulry]

Hi,

It looks to me that Dwight Southerland has already written the program to make easy for even a caveman to find the correct class.....

Maybe NHRA should purchase a license to use the program from Dwight????????????????????????????

It would take about 15 seconds to confirm each racecar.......

Please refer to post #68 in this thread. NHRA has such a program and Ryck Campbell verified everyone's class/combination with his laptop at the New England National Open last May. It HAS been done already.

Hi all,

Do you think that NHRA might have just logged onto RacerInfo??????

A laptop with wireless could work and NHRA could cheap out again????

Ask Mr. Campbell??????????????

Jimmy is obviously new to stock eliminator racing. He was right behind me in the tech line at the gators. He was unsure of how to fill out his tech card and asked me a few questions about the safety equipment and how that needed to be entered on his tech card. I did the best I could to answer his questions. I think it's best to help someone get their car classified correctly rather than beating them up and kicking them out of the race after they spent the money to travel a long way. I don't know all of the issue with his car. Luckily he had the option to drop out.

Agree Mike, as the guys have said above a small laptop with engine, body, year fields might well have avoided the whole mess. Like that sticky by Dwight on the home page.

Really great Post Mike.

I also understand there is precedent for this situation and what should happen to the driver and or the the entry, but that should also gives the NHRA Tech personnel more cause to examine the entry better or to verify that a certain car and configuration can't be claimed as a certain year. With all the ease of access to information, this just really shouldn't happen in this day and age.

To make their own program, they would probably need Dwight's help.
