I don't know about other racers but in a heads up I have zero dial on the car, and doing everything to make sure I do everything correctly. I don't ever remember checking the dial in a heads up race. So who wins in a heads up race with this kind of mistake by race personal?
Larry this exact scenario happened to me at the Sportsnationals in Belle Rose a few years ago during the first round of class. My opponent was given a two tenths of a second head start due to an error in the tower using the wrong index for his lane. It was clearly a mistake with the wrong class and index on the time slip. My opponent was gracious in the mix up and we both agreed a re-run was the only fair thing to do. The race director agreed and it was re-run.
