Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Boudreau vs.Hidalgo. Yes, Boudreau staged and "accepted" the dial BUT how can the people in the tower who are NHRA employees let an A/SA car "accept" a dial-in of 12.00? I guess that we can all expect to have NHRA "accept" our dial-ins no matter whether they are on or below the index or not! Welcome to ET-2!

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
WOW, i saw that too.
That was well ABOVE the A/SA index of 11.00. Should be a re-run, but yeah i guess once you accept the dial & stage, It's Game Over. Definitely a bad way to lose though.

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
I thought the software didn't allow a dial higher than the index?

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Should have been a rerun. The software should not allow a dial slower than the class index, but you would probably need the timing system computerized to do that LOL!
Sad.... slowly turning into just a bracket race! |

The tree never should have been activated. This is what NHRA thinks of stock racers, and what your entry money is buying.

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Where could "12.00" come from, besides a computer error?

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Why is it so hard to look up at the scoreboards before you stage your car to check your dial? Take responsibility for yourself end of story. Typical liberal America now, blame somebody else because you did not check the board to make sure it was correct yourself.

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Jim is not complaining & neither am I, just making a point. NHRA doesn't care. What if Jim had won the that race?
