Hey Troy Huntzberry, Do The Right Thing!

[tstickff]

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!

Simple, the person making the decision should know and understand the rules in the rule book then apply them.

The DD has the power to change the outcome of a race but should they use it. It's spelled out in the race procedures. It wasn't a first or worst ruling.

I have been burned by a wrong dial in before. After that happened I check my dial in every round before I pull in to the pre stage beam. I have had to get it corrected several times. Once you stage and the race is on you own the dial on the board. Mistakes do happen and you have to do what you need to do by making sure your dial is correct.

Just to clarify something for everyone and clear up any misconceptions.....per the NHRA rulebook (Section 2, Page 2 under Staging in the 2022 book) a racer has accepted the dial-in when they PRE-STAGE not stage. This has apparently been the rule for years and it bit me at the Charlotte national event a few years ago when I backed out of the pre-staged beam and told them the dial-in was wrong and they wouldn't change it and they fired the tree and red lighted me.

Thanks Jack that is how I read the rules.
