I Got Beat By The Division Director In Round 1

This might be the most well worded account of the Dick Kicking you sometimes receive in Div 4, especially, it seems, in Oklahoma. I’m surprised the timing system worked.... I Hate that you, and maybe I, have to do this, but it’s exactly what is needed to fix the issue, in my opinion. Dude needs to hear what he can do to remedy this situation and make the experience better for everyone. He has some sort of “Sports and Leisure Degree” or something like that from a fancy University, so I’m sure he, like any other human, is able to learn from past mistakes and improve. Somebody has to do his job and you get what you pay for.... But, why is Stock out first to begin with? Sometimes Super Stk is first out... but, Isn’t Super Street the entry level class? Does that happen elsewhere? Why did we close the night out with a wrong ladder? All these random differences lead to you getting royally F’d. In my opinion...

I have no idea what the other competitor was thinking and I dislike the blame being placed on them. I’ve been in Div 4 for 20 years and I don’t know the name, and it looks like a brand new competitor on paper. Probably just trying to follow the direction of officials. He might not know the “right thing” to do. There is only one person who could have solved your issues and he failed you. The rest of the Div 4 crew are pretty dang good on the other end of it and Trey seems to want to get it right. He’s just a lot like your competitor in this situation, doesn’t seem to know what’s the right thing to do in sportsman racing sometimes...

Would it make sense for NHRA to have the contestant's phone numbers to text this information? It is the age of information is it not?

Carl sorry this happened to you and it’s a pain to have to keep checking the ladder
But with all the crying about racers taking there time to get the lanes
We have this 1st. 3 pairs out rule...... I personally never understood why people hated
The racer that was going up late because he likes information. Or just like being last
Now you got the screwing because people encouraged this rule.
But the ladder is like your dial in.... You gotta make sure it’s right.
Definitely sucks

Mr Battis, as someone who is relatively new to class racing I could easily see this happening to me. I have nearly forgotten to check the final qualifying sheet when having car problems etc. I want to thank you for your taking time to post since it is certainly educational for those of us who are still learning. I am sad that this happened and can imagine your disappointment. While I can say that my limited experiences with the div 1 crew have been positive, this is the sort of thing that causes me to question my involvement in the sport. This is the kind of thing where a sponsor of the sport could have some influence. At the very least you deserve a sincere apology. Roy Kinslow
