Ryan,
That's Red Light Bob to you sonny!
Seriously, at any other track, you would not have gotten the opportunity to re-run because your dial-in was not what you wanted it to be. It is the racers responsibility to check their dial-ins before staging at the lights. BigD was right if he said that he shouldn't have to re-run the race. He did nothing wrong, and would have won in that round at any other track. When I looked at the ET you wrote on your window, I also thought it looked more like 14.46 than 14.96, so I can see how the mistake was made. To determine who would have won the race if your dial-in had been entered as you wanted it to be, you also have to figure in reaction times . Not knowing what RT's you two guys had makes it impossible to say who the winner would have been. It's all water under the bridge now anyway. Like you say, you learned a few things. If it makes you feel any better, they also screwed up my dial-in when I ran against Dwight(BigD). They had me down for 12.00(I wish) when I had planned for 12.80. Not that it mattered when I red lighted against him. What really counts is that you still had a good day, and a lot of fun racing with some of the "regulars" at Byron. Bring that Gen1 back. As consistent as you run, you will "win" again.

P.S. You're only as old as you feel, can you help me get a date for the next prom? |
