Hey Troy Huntzberry, Do The Right Thing!

[Larry Hill]

If we are not going to go by the rules we have nothing.
Going by the rules takes the human element out of the equation. The DD shows the racer the rule and it’s over.

I couldn't agree more. I just don't see why Huntzberry's being called out, like he's some kind of villain. I don't know him. Maybe everyone hates him. I still don't see why this is being directed at him.

The OP must have been paired with him on the ladder or at the very least in the lanes. I didn't see where he went to the DD to tell him that Huntzberry should be out and that he should be given a by. Instead, he starts a thread calling out Huntzberry. That, I don't get.

A better title for the thread would be:

Why were the RULES not followed?

I think both racers were not paying attention to the race at hand.

The win was showed to be Miles on the computer supplied time slip. The computer does not care who wins or looses. The computer has parameters programmed into its software to determine a winner within the rules structure.

The only people I’m disappointed with are the folks that ventured out on there own disregarding the rule book!

No, I wasn't paired with him until after the DD reinstated him wrongly. If the race had gone the way it should have, without the DD's interference, I would have had a broke bye. Troy was OUT! The DD disregarded the rule book and interjected his personal feelings into the situation. Because he did Casey and I lost points and I lost third round money. For me, it's not the money, it's the total disregard of the rules and the DD's decision to make it personal. I wasn't aware of the situation until after Huntzberry and I had already run. I was in the staging lanes paired with my first round opponent. All I knew was that Casey had broke and Huntzberry was the winner. When I found out about the situation I went to the tower and spoke with Cody Savage (the DD) and he told me he didn't care about the rule, he wanted to make it right because the girl doing the dial ins had screwed up. That's it. I protested it as soon as I found out what happened, to no avail.
What I would like is for Troy to man up and admit the rules were broken (not by him) and he should not have been in the second round. Troy no doubt knows the rule. He knows the rule was not upheld. I would like him to make a statement as to his side of the situation. He accepted the dial when he staged, he broke out on a competition run. Period. He was out. Apparently everyone there knew it but me at the time. Jim
