What??????????

I think the computer should have automatically dialed his index or given an error to the operater that the dial was illegal.

A dial over the index should not be allowed by the compter unless they are running it in bracket racing mode.

I don't know Johnson, but in my opinion, it was a a very good sportsmanlike move to decline. Even when a knucklehead official tries to offer something they shouldn't.

Gilbert Johnson is a straight up guy.

He sure is, always willing to answer my questions even knowing that I will run the same class as he does.

I have been around the Johnsons a long time and have had the great privilege too drive their Impala, no better people. I was at the race with them and Gilley made that decision immediately.

That's messed up, as was the situation Toby had earlier this year.

A situation at MIR this weekend.
2 cars staged the starter tried backing them out. The tree came on. One racer went red and demanded a rerun because the starter distracted him.
Same racer won the rerun too.
I did not see it but thats what I was told.
