No because you can RUN as slow as you want and still win.
Would he then be DQ'd for having a dial that's over the index?!?
No because he was dialed this during this run and was not DQ'ed. The dial in on the car has to be index or faster.
That's why that rule is BS - and also because the driver is not the person entering the info into the computer.
This is why it is drivers responsibilty to check scoreboard on each and every pass. Racing 101
They should have a key-pad at the ready line and have the drivers punch in their own dials... that way if its wrong... it is without question the driver's mistake.

I do agree that computer should always show a red screen if dial is slower then index to pre catch a problem when being entered, but NOT when car is staging. After being entered yet faster then index and still not correct then it reverts back to driver to ALWAYS verify dial in
