And, the most biggest question of all:

Does anyone care?

Should I take the last one first? Nah

I haven't run in to this one personally, in my own dealings.

I would assume all dial-ins have to be entered manually. Would there then be a safeguard in the software that wouldn't allow over- the- index dials?

Would that be too much to expect for a professional motor sports organization, such as NHRA?

Answers not needed.
