This has nothing to do with the topic being discussed,but if you felt that bad,why even show up? It could be a safety hazard having someone drive a race car that is sick and " just wants to get the race done" .Nobody is being forced to race if you aren't up to it.

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.

What in God's name is going on at these races.
D7 and D2 shame!
D6 is like a secret society.
I don't recall seeing this crap in D1, D3 and D4 or am I wrong?

There were a few questionable things in D3 too,but I guess we just keep it to ourselves.

I’m confused, what should Troy do at this point? If The Who’s who of D2 made the decision as it is now, what should be rectified? Just for future reference…thank you!

Simple, the person making the decision should know and understand the rules in the rule book then apply them.

The DD has the power to change the outcome of a race but should they use it. It's spelled out in the race procedures. It wasn't a first or worst ruling.

I have been burned by a wrong dial in before. After that happened I check my dial in every round before I pull in to the pre stage beam. I have had to get it corrected several times. Once you stage and the race is on you own the dial on the board. Mistakes do happen and you have to do what you need to do by making sure your dial is correct.

[Jack Zimmerman]

Just to clarify something for everyone and clear up any misconceptions.....per the NHRA rulebook (Section 2, Page 2 under Staging in the 2022 book) a racer has accepted the dial-in when they PRE-STAGE not stage. This has apparently been the rule for years and it bit me at the Charlotte national event a few years ago when I backed out of the pre-staged beam and told them the dial-in was wrong and they wouldn't change it and they fired the tree and red lighted me.

[Larry Hill]

Thanks Jack that is how I read the rules.

The fact that Casey was pushed off the track with track equipment would be a "disqualification" of the run per the Rule Book. Bye runs are the only allowed run where you do not have to cross the finish line under power. You can not get a "time" when being pushed
