Pretty common with Q1 to have the wrong class and index.
Not all of the tech cards have been turned in yet.

A driver changes vehicles from one event to another but the NHRA system still has the driver's previous entry still in the computer

He's fast!

NHRA website:

Position
Driver Class Index ET Ov/Un 01 Rene Garza SS/PA 12.65 10.529
-2.121

02 David Dupps SS/KA 11.25 10.096
- 1.154

David Dupps sold that SS/KA car over the winter. This must be last years info

Ghezzi is who ran 10.529 his number is 3548. Instead they inputted 3549 which is Garza.

I also see in the Live Timing data on NHRA.com that Gary Stinnett was double-entered in Super Comp and lost both entries in Round 1.

Doggone it.

I mistakenly attributed the performance gain of the shoebox to titanium valves.

In all reality, it would have been nice to see 3549 at the top of the list.

I'm still trying to figure out why NHRA had some nitrous street cars running exhibition runs this last weekend at the the Rt 66 Nationals.They ran them down the track with no times given, while they promoted a gamblers race race next weekend at a non NHRA track.About as entertaining as watching paint dry.Was waiting for one to oil the track,or smack the wall,but most never made a run under full power.What a waste of time ,and pit space.

Brought a guest Friday who had never ever been to a drag race. She sat in the freezing cold watching everything from the Alcohol cars Q2 all the way through thru the jet dragster pair and asked a lot of questions though only once was puzzled by the on track activities and that was during these no times runs. It was like getting stuck watching an infomercial commercial on TV and no way to fast forward out. Halfway thru his spiel when she turned and gave me the "What the heck?" look I thought the night was over. I believe the crowd would rather have seen a U/SA shootout as this added absolutely nothing to the event experience.

Yep, the guy announcing it seemed to be schilling for his own event. I'm sure they put effort into their racing though I don't think this was the crowd for it. Crowd response seemed worse than advertising a Wishone Ash reunion at an Opera event. I'm sure next year will be different, and maybe different dates? The crowds seemed very, very light even with blue sky and no real chance of rain.

About as exciting as a James Taylor song?

I would have rather seen a U/SA shootout than the jets. But I'm guessing that your Lady Friend would probably be more impressed by the jets.
