Bob Brockmeyer, inventor of the Compulink Timing System, the official timing system of the NHRA, thought he'd seen it all until Sunday.

Apparently, according to Brockmeyer, the parachute of a Pro Stock car nudged one of the timing blocks yet kept the system close enough that it didn't trip the alarm like it would had a timing block been displaced. Still, the misalignment was enough to give a bogus reading in the second round of Pro Stock eliminations but not enough to send off an alarm that the block had been compromised.

In the second round, Kyle Koretsky took the win light against Mason McGaha, but the big issue something was when Koretsky's run showed a 220.58 mile per hour speed. When Erica Enders took out Greg Anderson in the next pair, his speed showed 227.15 and a quicker elapsed time even though it was evident Enders got to the stripe first and took the win light. The numbers on each run just didn't add up.

NHRA officials went to the McGaha versus Koretsky run numbers and looked at the video before reversing the outcome.

"The beams were lined up so perfectly that a quarter turn didn't sound off the alarms even though it was out of line," Brockmeyer told CompetitionPlus.com. "If you're a spotter and the block is only turned a quarter-turn, you are not going to notice that. The reflectors gave no indication that anything was wrong."
