I was there was I started not feeling well, crap was coming out of my azz, not my mouth. Keep your wellness comments to yourself.

I'm having a real difficult time understanding why Hutnzberry is being called out. I don't know the man, but, from what I've read here, he pled his case to the division director based on a bizarre set of circumstances and the DD made a call. Who among us wouldn't have done the same?

Is the OP that pissed off about losing to him second round?

What's Huntzberry supposed to do? Go to confession? Pay a fine? Grovel for forgiveness?

If you're going to blame someone, blame the DD. Even then, it's seems like he didn't make an egregious call. True, it may not have been the right call according to the rule book, but the situation was strange to say the least.

I don't see the point of this public shaming.

If we are not going to go by the rules we have nothing.
Going by the rules takes the human element out of the equation. The DD shows the racer the rule and it’s over.

I couldn't agree more. I just don't see why Huntzberry's being called out, like he's some kind of villain. I don't know him. Maybe everyone hates him. I still don't see why this is being directed at him.

The OP must have been paired with him on the ladder or at the very least in the lanes. I didn't see where he went to the DD to tell him that Huntzberry should be out and that he should be given a by. Instead, he starts a thread calling out Huntzberry. That, I don't get.

A better title for the thread would be:

Why were the RULES not followed?

I think both racers were not paying attention to the race at hand.

The win was showed to be Miles on the computer supplied time slip. The computer does not care who wins or looses. The computer has parameters programmed into its software to determine a winner within the rules structure.

The only people I’m disappointed with are the folks that ventured out on there own disregarding the rule book!

No, I wasn't paired with him until after the DD reinstated him wrongly. If the race had gone the way it should have, without the DD's interference, I would have had a broke bye. Troy was OUT! The DD disregarded the rule book and interjected his personal feelings into the situation. Because he did Casey and I lost points and I lost third round money. For me, it's not the money, it's the total disregard of the rules and the DD's decision to make it personal. I wasn't aware of the situation until after Huntzberry and I had already run. I was in the staging lanes paired with my first round opponent. All I knew was that Casey had broke and Huntzberry was the winner. When I found out about the situation I went to the tower and spoke with Cody Savage (the DD) and he told me he didn't care about the rule, he wanted to make it right because the girl doing the dial ins had screwed up. That's it. I protested it as soon as I found out what happened, to no avail.
What I would like is for Troy to man up and admit the rules were broken (not by him) and he should not have been in the second round. Troy no doubt knows the rule. He knows the rule was not upheld. I would like him to make a statement as to his side of the situation. He accepted the dial when he staged, he broke out on a competition run. Period. He was out. Apparently everyone there knew it but me at the time. Jim

I have been following this thread since Monday afternoon…..SOMEONE in the tower made a HUGE mistake by posting the class index on the scoreboard. I will not BLAME/BERATE a track employee that probably makes 10 bucks an hour. …..BOTH racers accepted the WRONG dial ins……What are the odds of that happening ????? Both TROY and CASEY made this mistake….TROY obviously ran under his dial in THAT HE ACCEPTED…. CASEY has a WINNING time slip in his hand..….I just WONDER what logic the DD used by declaring TROY the winner ????
