Re: 7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
As an NHRA announcer and worked at Pomona for seven years until the new bunch took over and hired "whatevers," catch me in the pits sometime and I'll tell you what goes on. I can't write it here.

Re: 7.45 Dial for Bill O'Connor
So maybe some insight here... The computer operator may have put in 7.45 instead of 17.45 and hit the key to advance the pair to the active state. THAT is the number that Live Timing and the NHRA timing screen sees. When the operator corrected the dial, that does not always push to Live Timing or the timing screen. It's a quirk / bug / ??? of the data capture programs that NHRA built and happens more often than you think. The important part is that the Compulink got and processed the corrected number. Now, if it should have been 17.45 or 17.05, that is a shoe polish issue.
