Chris this isn't a flame but I believe this was all about someone blocking
every lap of a race not the last 2 laps.Hell I block on the last lap and
thats it because blocking works against you more times than it works for
ya.

Blocking at Talladega on Hawaii

Well,

I will probably get flammed for this but I just have to open my big
mouth...  Just about everytime I race pick-up races on Hawaii, I run old
'tally.  And I have seen some awsome races.  Blocking, shoving, crashing,
just some spectacular racing.  You guys talking about blocking.  Well, that
my friends, is racing.  I block all the time on the last 2 laps but I don't
do it all the way around the track.  Just enough to slow them down.  If
someone gets mad because of it and crashes me, I just say "hey!  it was
fair game!"  Because it was, it was my fault.  But someone blocks me.  I
work on them until I can't get around them, then maybe I might "nudge" 'em
a little.  But that, guys, is "Hawaii life" at dega.  So stop complaining
about it and maybe try to work around it.  

... now for the flamming

well i never run pickup races so im off the subject a little. but when
your running in a league a move like blocking the whole race is
BULLSHIT.  in fact unless its the last few laps its BULLSHIT on hawaii.
first off howmany guys actually block in a real race car in nascar?  a
few ok if you want to be labled a spencer or Bodine go right ahead and
block your ass off. if you have to block someone to stay ahead of them
then you DON'T belong infront of them.  Keep blocking then ya wonder why
people have real low laps per incident...

I take it none of you people have seen a real race at Dega.  They block all
day.  It's racing....So why can't we do it on Hawaii????

Hey there GT,

Yea,  I understood that.  If someone did that all day to me I would put
them out quick.  That just isn't racing.  But I remember a few blocks we
did to each other  :)
