Re: SS round two
So what if you dial slower than your index, as long as the computer/tower people enter the published/proper index and let the race proceed as it should, I'm ok with it. Just don't be a doodle and Ph#*^ up.

Re: SS round two
This happened a long time ago [I guess I am old] But I think it was at Div race where in the third round someone noticed that the other car was dailed above the index and brought to the attention of a official where the driver was reinstated kind of like being lite at the scales but nothing was said about the 2 cars he had beat in the previous rounds. Not to knock anyone but if you run the class you should be class racer smart.
On another note was watching the Ihra race at Florida and they where running super rod [super gas] and the announcer said not to many dragsters in this class,even I know the driver has to be on the left side of the driveshaft. Tom

Re: SS round two
So now no tech, dial slower then index. I can see gutted interior, square tube frame, fiberglass panels running in stock as long as it has a 9 inch tire and a weight sticker. I agree Bracket II here we come.

Re: SS round two
On the funny side of dialing cars. Once at Pomona we ran class GT/CA. I was only .4 under index and I had to run Bud Pickens in his Camaro that was I think .8 under. So I dialed my .4 under for class and Bud caught it and wiped numbers off my window. I asked him what was wrong as we were running heads up for class. He stated he didn't trust tower and was afraid they might put dial in on scoreboards. True story around 1995.

Hackie, If someone dialed over the index, it would probably show up on the dial-in board, as we saw this weekend . The computer operator doesn't have to do anything if there's no dial under. It will default to the index anyway. At least it's supposed to.

Re: SS round two
I did have 10.30 on 3 windows and they put 11.30 on they score board and in the computer. I did not see it or I would have said something. I usually look but for some reason I did not. I went to the tower and talked to Mike Rice and he said it was an error and that there is supposed to be a red light flash on the computer if you try to dial over your index. Evidently the person who did this did not see the red light. My question then was why you should even be able to put in a dial over your index. I was then told that I accepted the number by staging. I new that I was going to be told that and I did agree, but it seems to me that all the things we do just to get to that point, the least they could do is get the dial right. I have been doing this for over 40 years and I just found another way to loose.

Re: SS round two
Dumb me, I did not think the computer would accept a slower-than-the-index dial.
