This is a reflection of priorities from NHRA leadership ( accountants not racers) that really do not understand that this is impactful to many racers at Indy. There are people that work at NHRA that have the skills to manage this, but clearly, the leadership doesn?t allow it. Posting inexperienced workers and giving them zero support was a huge problem. The good news is that it is easily solved. Call alternates to the lanes and let them all check in. Do not run any singles until all of the alternates are locked in and lined up in qualifying order. Then they can just peel them off as needed and send the rest back. I have been an alternate and it is very stressful if you really want to race. You need to know where everyone qualified vs your Q spot to make sure the uninformed staging Lane employee doesn’t miss you. It can make a difference. I was an alternate in SS before and made it to the semi finals and had a legit shot at winning. Could have easily been left hanging in the lanes.
