Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
I totally agree on having index being noticed on computer as being wrong if it is installed with a slower then class index. But some how the human error on correcting to proper dial in needs to be figured out.
It sounds like there is a warning that goes off in tower when something is wrong but human error is still in play to correct it. Drivers should never put their trust in someone else's hands when it comes to racing. I doubt anyone lets a stranger work on their car, check air pressure, add fuel. So why would you trust a stranger in putting a correct dial on the scoreboard? Answer: You don't, its drivers responsibility
Going forward and all the bells and whistles go off and computer states dial in is slower then index and self corrects it. Its still not correct.
1) So now what will be said when a car is -1.00 under index and tower reverts over dial to class index dial in and driver does not notice and stages car? Answer: Driver is responsible for dial in has now excepted it.
2) Is this going to be ok when dial is still wrong and driver excepts by staging car? Answer: Yes as its responsibility to check dial in before pre staging.
3) Or will the complaining still continue and rerun be demanded? Answer: Yes
Bottom line is driver is responsible for proper dial in before pre staging no matter what's on the board or when computer operator installs wrong dial even if dial in is 99.99 on score boards. Drivers need to take responsibility for your own demise.
