I went to the tower and talked to Mike Rice and he said it was an error and that there is supposed to be a red light flash on the computer if you try to dial over your index. Evidently the person who did this did not see the red light. My question then was why you should even be able to put in a dial over your index. I was then told that I accepted the number by staging. I new that I was going to be told that and I did agree, but it seems to me that all the things we do just to get to that point, the least they could do is get the dial right. I have been doing this for over 40 years and I just found another way to loose.

I am bad about checking the posted dial, actually only looked once last year and it was wrong. Competitor also saw it, and it got fixed. I agree they should be able to catch it, but unfortunately humans are involved. That's why they pass the buck back to us. Hate you lost that way. NHRA avoids reruns if at all possible-haven't seen or heard of one in years.
