Congatulations......Enjoy but be careful. There are a lot of crazy drivers out there.

Chuck, last February I put my 110 Eagle in the trailer along with my camaro and went to bike week in Daytona and drag racing in Orlando. Life's to short enjoy every moment.

Re: Somebody should have caught this
 

the bad part about the whole dial in thing is that we had a 1/8 mile time run that morning along with 1 rd the day before in the 1/8 mile......plus the announcer said that it was almost a 5 second spot before eather car staiged and Bertozzi took a aweful long time to pre stage and Bob staiged first......


PS-im not picking at Bob i like Bob ran him a few times nice guy.....the tower reads the dial ins off the car also before you go into the water....i agree someone should have stopped them considering the tower mentioned a 5 second spot with officials in the tower and was way over the index....hope this clears anything up....i see where he made the mistake i still had a 10 on my car this morning....me and dad joked about forgetting to take it off before the Bob and Anthony run happend

Brandon, you have a PM

Re: Somebody should have caught this
 

I wonder what would have happened if he had left the line,spun real bad,lifted,got back in it and ran 10.630 on a 10.63 dial at the 1/8 mile and won the round.Could his opponent have asked for a rerun on the grounds that he didn't at least dial the index?

Re: Somebody should have caught this
 

I would think there would be someone with knowledge doing, or watching, the dial-ins in the tower to check for such instances. 2005 Norwalk, a B/SA racer (I want to say it was Keith Lynch) had a dial-in on the board (not the car) of 11.71, or something over the (11.55) Index. I didn't notice til the tree was counting down. You'd think somone (in the tower or head of staging) would have looked and said "Hey, that car is dialed over their Index".

X-tech, I rode most of the summer (about 1500 miles) and I know what you mean about crazy drivers. I am always on the defense. Sterling, sounds like a lot of fun, it would be very tough to get my bike in my trailer, Harley's are fairly large bikes ... Darryl, interesting observation, what would have happened if he would have run that number in the 1/8th ...

Re: Somebody should have caught this
 

unfortunate for Bob as he has had a good year otherwise.

Re: Somebody should have caught this
 

Wouldn't a good software programmer have the system set up where you cannot enter a dial in above the index?

The way the five days of racing went at Rockingham........it doesn't surprise me a bit that this happened! Just another thing to add to the total CF that this event was!!

I said at last year's spring race at Rockingham that I would never go back, but they baited me in by having the All Stars and Tournament of Champions race scheduled there! So I went. Well, let me tell you, I don't care what race they are having there, until MAJOR improvements are done at that track, I will never go back!!! And I hope IHRA learned a valuable lesson.........way too many time trials and too many events scheduled into one long weekend will not work!!! Had they just had the All Stars and TOC races, we would have easily finished on or before Sunday!!!

I vote to have the All Stars Race and TOC at MIR in April!!!
