Where could "12.00" come from, besides a computer error?

G/SA index perhaps.

Sad this has to happen !!

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

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.

Red flashing alert should have shown up on the announcers computer screen too.

The flashing red alert should have gone off in the driver's brain before he staged. That's what the dial-in boxes behind the starting line are for . Make that mistake once and you will never make it again. Can't blame this one on NHRA.

The issue here is the dial-in is OVER the class index. The slowest a Stock or Super Stock car can dial is there respective index. NHRA rule.... or so I thought
