yes......you won't see any Jeff Arend type dives....which isnt a dig at Jeff or the CSK team at all....i dont really like what they did (as a fan), but completely understand it (from a business standpoint).

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
Admittedly, I've been on the "let's see how this thing plays out" side of the fence but if this is real, then I've really lost a lot of faith in the organization.

They've made their bed but now they want insurance against insomnia, bed bugs and restless nights?

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
the clowns of glendora have lost thier minds this time how will they enforce it, and buisness wise, team orders are a no brainer for thier worthless countdown! just like suzie o said, from here on in , it will be like survivor. there will be alliances. checks will be writen, dives will be taken, team orders will be done. you wanted your countdown NHRA, now deal with it.

Re: Team Orders Addressed? What if?
Here we go . . . Ashley pairs up against Dad at Indy. She has a really bad light or smokes the tires at the hit. NHRA determines that it is team orders.
If so , what would the "significant penalties" be?
Does Ashley receive a monetary fine (meaningless to JFR) have points decucted or is disqualified for diving? Or . . . does John, the team owner, recieve the penalties?
IF this letter is legitimate (and I'm sure Bobby will be following up on this)
it elevates NHRA management to a new level of stupidity. Did they think this wasn't going to happen?

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
So your teammate is in the count down, you are not, you are racing next round, what do you do? Why not just stay in the pits, why even go to the line?

Just tell the NHRA that they couldn't fix the car in time!  |

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. The "light" is getting dimmer.

That would be nearly indisputable-say, an oil leak at the warm-up that required another tear-down or the fire-bottles inadvertently going off in the staging lanes, maybe an oil or fuel leak when firing it in the lanes? This rule has just forced the team's imaginations to run wild while it could've been as easy as Jeff Arend did, which I applauded in behalf of his teammate. |

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
They wanted to run the points like NASCAR and now they got it. Ashley taking a dive for dad would be the same thing as Dale Jr. getting a push down the main straight by one of his team mates.
