Hey Troy Huntzberry, Do The Right Thing!

Larry Hill · 10-17-2022, 05:19 PM

NHRA needs to read and understand the Rule Book under Section 2 Race Procedures as written.

Part quote from Rule Book Section 2. Break Out rules: Contestants who race below the posted index or category standard during eliminations are disqualified, with the following exceptions:

1) when an opponent foul starts or crosses a boundary line

2) on a single run

3) when both cars run under their index, the driver who is least under is the winner

4) when two cars of the same class race (doesn't apply to Super categories)

5) two drivers under by same amount the racer crossing wins

It's a Rule Book that we all play by, its not a Suggestion Manual.

Rules applied in a fair, firm, and friendly manner make the sport fun for all participants.

Wishful thinking in today's day-and-age!

Maybe division director ordered a rerun as both index were displayed ?
That would make sense .

That would be the wrong call as once you stage you own the dial in. Jim should have gotten the competition bye the second round. Agree this was a bad call on the DD. Lucky if my calculations are correct to did not effect anyone in the top 10 points.

What in God's name is going on at these races.
D7 and D2 shame!
D6 is like a secret society.
I don't recall seeing this crap in D1, D3 and D4 or am I wrong?

There were a few questionable things in D3 too,but I guess we just keep it to ourselves.

I’m confused, what should Troy do at this point? If The Who’s who of D2 made the decision as it is now, what should be rectified? Just for future reference…thank you!

The fact that Casey was pushed off the track with track equipment would be a "disqualification" of the run per the Rule Book. Bye runs are the only allowed run where you do not have to cross the finish line under power. You can not get a "time" when being pushed

While I get the jist of the conversation, that started on the Monday after the race, I'm confused as to what Huntzberry was supposed to do after the fact??..

If Casey had a win ticket, how does the loser of the previous round appear for the next round, unless an indication was made that Casey was broke.. that would give his next opponent a competition bye..

My confusion comes in with, did Huntzberry get reinstated??.. I'm thinking that Casey had Huntzberry, and Casey got the win slip, sending him to the next round.. OOOOORRR, did I miss something..

All that said, it appears that D2 failed, and let the race continue, SOME HOW!!

Huntzberry was reinstated by the DD because he said the tower made the mistake. Apparently the tower couldn't read the dial in on Huntzberry's car. Could be because there was no dial in on the tower side of the car and the person putting the dials on the board was inexperienced at the job and didn't know what else to do but use their indexes. Don't believe me? Go look at the video of the run. Casey got the win light and the win on the E.T. slip at the scales. Casey won pure and simple. The D2 DD is extremely inexperienced at his job also. Everyone in D2 knows this. Jim
