Maybe he switched to SS/FA when he bought back in?

Billy ,billy, what would you have done if this happened to you.? By some miracle another T/SA shows up and you are paired up with him next round . You have him covered by 4 tenths and he mysteriously changes classes. Now this is hypothetical cause there is no way that this would happen in D 1...... What would you do billy ??

Very incredible story, I guess it shows anything can happen in Vegas.

Just curious, what is the viewpoint of the other driver involved in the non-heads-up race in round 2???

Whoa M.J., I'm with you! I was just directing a little bit of sarcasm at the "West Coast Rules".

Just curious how the system works regarding how the data gets entered into the computer, I would have assumed that it would automatically pick up on the heads up deal and would override someone attempting to enter a dial in? Assuming the car got entered in a specific class, wouldn't the computer pick up the heads up and not allow for the dial in override? Just asking?

I changed classes as well on my tech card. DRC did not have my class correct either. Guess I was running as well.

According to this, http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop
It appears he won round one as a SS/FA.

Looks to me like it was just a wrong class entry on DRC in round one.

this is from NHRA rule book.............
If an event is disrupted and rescheduled due to weather or other conditions, the following options are permitted: Super Stock and Stock contestants may reregister in a different class but must remain within their eliminator category. Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street contestants may reregister and change to a different “Super” category than originally entered. This policy only applies if eliminations were not in progress.

I just checked my edata that i get for stats and the car in question was in SS/FA in round one. Everything looks fine to me. BTW, RD 2 ladder was made off of Rd 1 winners anyhow so..............
