Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
 
Boudreau vs.Hidalgo. Yes, Boudreau staged and "accepted" the dial BUT how can the people in the tower who are NHRA employees let an A/SA car "accept" a dial-in of 12.00? I guess that we can all expect to have NHRA "accept" our dial-ins no matter whether they are on or below the index or not! Welcome to ET-2!

WOW, i saw that too.

That was well ABOVE the A/SA index of 11.00.

Should be a re-run, but yeah i guess once you accept the dial & stage, It's Game Over.

Definitely a bad way to lose though.

I thought the software didn't allow a dial higher than the index?

Should have been a rerun. The software should not allow a dial slower than the class index, but you would probably need the timing system computerized to do that LOL!

Sad.... slowly turning into just a bracket race!

The tree never should have been activated. This is what NHRA thinks of stock racers, and what your entry money is buying.

Where could "12.00" come from, besides a computer error?

G/SA index perhaps.

Sad this has to happen !!

Or maybe he dialed 10.00 & they thought they saw 12.00.

Most systems have a flashing red notification that comes up on the computer screen to alert the operator of a dial-in "over the index". But the computer operator has to let someone know of the situation, otherwise the tree will still come down. Computer operator must have been not paying attention. Probably talking to someone else in the tower and did not notice the red flashing alert on the computer screen.

Red flashing alert should have shown up on the announcers computer screen too.
