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
Or maybe he dialed 10.00 & they thought they saw 12.00.

Re: Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta
Most systems have a flashing red notification that comes up on the computer screen to alert the operator of a dial-in "over the index". But the computer operator has to let someone know of the situation, otherwise the tree will still come down. Computer operator must have been not paying attention. Probably talking to someone else in the tower and did not notice the red flashing alert on the computer screen.
