7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
 

That is what it showed on Live Timing. I sure hope its wrong. How could anybody with any idea of drag racing input such a error. Yes I know its the racers responsibility to check but putting up a time 10 seconds to quick is just unforgiveable.
Like I said I hope its wrong.

DRR shows it the same way in results.

Bill did get his head start though.

They paused them before they raced. 17.45 is Bill's index. Did he forget to put a dial in on the window. It is up to Bill to see the dial in on the board.

Seems he should get a rerun but probably not. He sitll would have broke out

Re: 7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
 

Actually I watched the race. Bill was at the half track timers before Larry left. So it was correct

Re: 7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
 

Well, we can't see the dial in on the scoreboards on .TV. Only the stats on screen after the run where there was a 7.45 dial in. There was microphone silence after the run, they knew something was wrong. O'Connor dialed 16.90 in first round, ran 16.91. Was he actually handicapped off of the 7.45? Ran 17.04 in second. That should be a re-run!

Whoever's job it is to input dial ins maybe should have a better understanding of NHRA racing.

I'm willing to guess the cage would not certify, belts and other safety stull were not good for a sub 7.50 dial.

Re: 7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
 

I didn't see the race.For the first time,I did not buy NHRA.TV.

But I highly doubt he was dialed in at 7.45.
If so,the other guy was pretty lucky running dead on 8 taking almost 10 seconds of stripe.
And whoever writes the comments on Drag Race Central should just stop.

"Nice nine light for O'Connor, but he slows down track."
