Put your self in their shoes and honestly say that you do not make a mistake. I tell ya what to do, sit down and write a email and see if you do it without any mistakes. As I wrote this reply, I had to retype 4 words and I ONLY made 1 mistake all of last year. HeHe. Give the guys a little credit but make sure you check the board 4 ya run.

Reed, I agree with you; sometimes I marvel the folks in the tower can even read the dials. Guess that's why they often have to get call down for exactly what it is. At the same time it's the racer's obligation to check and if they ever misdialed me and I lost because of it then I wouldn't even dream of asking for a rerun...you stage, you bought what's on the board. Suspect it's one of those lessons that's learned the hard way once and once is all it takes.
