Index right but dial in wrong in class?

[Jim Wahl]

This should NOT be allowed to stand! It was their fault and Art got screwed. They reran another miss dial, why not Art's? Come on NHRA show us you do care about doing the right thing. Correct YOUR mistake!

Art, who did you run against? Are they willing to do the right thing and rerun? Jim

Art,

1) I know you're upset, just like I was last week, but insinuating that someone might have done that to you on purpose is not going to further your argument. It was a mistake, one that sucks for sure, but as was gone over in the thread about my 2nd round loss at Gainesville, NHRA's position and rule is that it is our responsibility as a racer to verify the correct dial in.

2) you should really invest in getting a keyed balancer and having a keyway cut in the crank. If it spins on the crank, it will never hold properly again. It also sounds like you have a bad harmonic damper to begin with if your timing wheel keeps loosening up.

I don't think anyone thinks this was done on purpose. Art is rightly upset. NHRA made the mistake, it is up to them to correct it. It also is up to John Clegg to insist that there be a rerun.

JOHN CLEGG..... Art Leong technically beat you by .303 if his index had been correctly input. I call on you to insist there be a rerun and race Art fair and square. I'm sure you don't want to win class like this. Art can complain all he wants and will come off looking like a poor sport to some. You, NHRA and Art know what really happened. So do we now that it is posted on DRC. You got beat by .303 ! Now please do the right thing. Contact the appropriate NHRA official and rerun Art! Jim

Art's first post mentioned that someone might have done it on purpose, and he should have never posted that. I know he's upset, and rightfully so. But I learned NHRAs policy the hard way last weekend. I DO think NHRA should be responsible for entering the dial/index correctly provided you have it clearly written on the car.

Chad the way they are explaining there were no shoe polish indexes written on the window they were running off of class index and no dial in boards in the water box?

The tower has been calling Art and John Clegg up this morning. Hopefully they will straighten this up.

I was wondering how long it would take before the Grace Cup was invoked.

Glad to hear you got a rerun.
