Default Re: Kurt Johnson got SCREWED!

I had the same thing happen to me a few times with the HF/SA car I raced. Billy put a new header on, and I had to keep the front tires pumped up to keep the header from triggering the beam. Sometimes I'd get a bad redlight, even before I moved (like Kurt's deal). My RT would be off three tenths, and my ET the same amount. Pretty sure this is what happened to Kurt--something interupted the beams and he got a redlight without moving.

Vince's -.006 red could have been a reaction to seeing Kurt's redlight.

I almost never agree with Graham "Dim" Light, but in this case, they were correct. Not enough hard evidence to warrant a re-run.

Still sucks for Kurt. I imagine they will go over the front of the car with a fine tooth comb and eliminate anything that could possibly trip the beam and cause this to happen again.
