Rd #3 Stock @ Atlanta

Adub464Q · 05-11-2017, 02:17 PM

Does anybody remember what happened at the Fall Charlotte race last year?

First Round, Stock
L: Jeff Warren Dial 10.38
R: John Leach Dial 10.52

The tree dropped as it should, but when they got to the finish line, the system had this on the screen.

L: John Leach, Dial 11.40
R: Jeff Warren, Dial 10.52

It had swapped the lanes info as well as switched a dial-in on the left lane to read index. They did re-run this pair. Weird occurrence, until the same thing happened at a bracket race near me a couple months prior to this.

Compulink will always be susceptible to glitches, so even if the scoreboards read correctly, the system may throw you a curveball. Everyone pay attention to the boards and the timeslip.

This round is still on All Access on the Fall Charlotte coverage, under Saturday, around the 46-47 minute mark.

Any racer out there who has had something go array with the dial in, has always checked their dial in before they have staged after that incident. If they haven't had it happen to them yet, it will. Then they will check the dial in after that.

Like it has been said on here before, "it is the drivers responsibility".Personally, I can't believe Jim let this happen for as long as he has been racing. Then, maybe, he has never had a dial in problem before. If that is the case, he won't do it again.

As a side note, if you dial in improperly, your fault, no rerun and you are DQ'd, no matter what the run resulted in. Just the way it is. Lets not make this more complicated.

U/SA dialed and ready to go.

Looks like they need to change the warning sounds to differentiate between an illegal dial-in and entering the next pair. Or put up a warning message and not even allow the dial-in to be entered and flash the whole screen.

First of all, I have the UTMOST respect for the Golddigger...Jim Boudreau..Every racer MUST check their dial in before they stage because....with the NEW NHRA this will happen again and again .....

I think that the person who was entering the dials in Atlanta just got in trouble in his NEW job in Hawaii!
