Blocking at Talladega on Hawaii

5 posts by 4 people · 26 Apr 1997 - 27 Apr 1997

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. GT86 Robert
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... -- -------------------------------------------------------- Brian Motisko http://members.aol.com/bmotisko/private/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------
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???? -- Cowen Wilson http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7137 --------------------------------------------------------------- Head Car Designer AJ's Nascar Garage http://www.webstorage.com/~ajs > 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. > GT86 > Robert > >Well, > >I will probably get flammed for this but I just have to open my big > >mouth...

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 :) > Chris this isn't a flame but I believe this was all about someone blocking
