Offered a rerun. Why???? Johnson should have been declared the winner before he ever staged. Am I wrong????

Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed
4560 Gilbert Johnson Jr 4786 Marvin Allemand
E1 -0.010 10.664 112.00 ****WINNER**** 0.020 11.005 122.76
GT/JA Dial: 10.59 (+/-): 0.074 SS/JA Dial: 11.82 (+/-): -0.815
Qualified: #3 10.589 -1.011 #9 11.005 -0.295

Marvin Allemand apparently won on Gilbert Johnson Jr's red light, but Allemand changed his dial at the last minute and in trying to change from 10.82 to 11.02, ended up with 11.82 on the car, an illegal dial-in for his class. Johnson was offered a rerun, but declined because he went red. Allemand faces Helms next round.

I think the computer should have automatically dialed his index or given an error to the operater that the dial was illegal.

A dial over the index should not be allowed by the compter unless they are running it in bracket racing mode.

I don't know Johnson, but in my opinion, it was a a very good sportsmanlike move to decline. Even when a knucklehead official tries to offer something they shouldn't.

Gilbert Johnson is a straight up guy.

He sure is, always willing to answer my questions even knowing that I will run the same class as he does.

I have been around the Johnsons a long time and have had the great privilege too drive their Impala, no better people. I was at the race with them and Gilley made that decision immediately.
