You would think that every racer checks the Q sheet to see where he is qualified, notices his index , etc....Maybe the racer in question has never ran the 1/8 mile before and just made a mistake. Back in the stone ages a track employee or tech man would check all the dials in the staging lanes for this very reason. Just can’t help but wonder what would have happened if the racer in question went 4 or 5 rounds ?? Also with today’s sophisticated timing systems , shouldn’t there be a safeguard in place when dialing over the index, Michael Beard ? Anyone know ?
