Re: no more blocking
[QUOTE=Pat Joffrion;50045]
If it wasn't for blocking, the quarterback would get sacked on every down.... QUOTE] I understand that 31 teams in the NFL are petitioning for a new rule that prevents any of Tom Brady's offensive linemen from moving at all between the time they have gotten into a set position and until the play is whistled dead. And if that doesn't stop Brady and the Pats from winning, then their next request for a rule change will be to ask that Brady only be allowed to throw to one receiver in a game. And speaking of Patriot receivers, is Wes Welker any relation to stock racer Matt Welker? Last edited by david ring; 12-09-2007 at 11:44 PM. |

Re: no more blocking
I'm curious how many racers who are upset over losing blockers helped get deep staging eliminated?

Re: no more blocking
NHRA never had a rule that blinders were OK. Racers just adopted it. Now NHRA is just clarifying that they are not allowed. And when racers took it to the extreme and people are getting run over in the staging lanes, I'm all for it.
Look, racing involves dealing with distractions of all sorts. Those that can deal with them prevail more than those that can't. That's just a part of the sport.

Regarding the rulebook, it is the policy of NHRA that it is NOT legal unless directed it IS legal. See page 15 (2007 rulebook) under "How to use this rulebook". It also says somewhere else that "past useage does not make acceptable", or words to that effect. That would apply directly to this blinder issue.

Re: no more blocking
From what Ive heard, this all started when that Tricky McWaley kid got greedy and tried to demand 2 pepsi's instead of ONE from the D1 Rat pack for said undetectable "reaction secrets" . So they spiked ONE with truth serum, turns out he was a double agent and came clean to the West... he also lost all his money and dippity do gel at the poker table , last heard he joined a cult rap group and is raisin donkeys?
