When is "NERFING" EXCESSIVE OR DANGEROUS?????

[pdailey]

Dakar used a Setinal device that warned the vehicle in front that someone was behind. They would only work a certain distance behind. We could use something like that here to prevent these things here in the states and in Baja. Could be beneficial.

I think it's been talked about before and I like it. But I don't think the idea would be too popular among the budget minded racers.

I find it hard to believe that any body plans on nerfing someone that hard. There's so many variables that can happen. Dust,speed, terrain, Ect. We've been on both ends and its a part of offroad racing. Excessive Repeat offenders should be penalized but Nerfing is necessary sometimes. if u don't think so race MORE.

Nicely said. Nerfing IS necessary. Saying bumping someone is slower is ridiculous because it's not if you're faster and need to get around them. Unless you can pass cleanly then yeah do that, but It's absolutely faster to BUMP, make them move, and go FASTER than them. Is that not faster? Excessive is excessive and I get that.

Slower JEEP SPEED with class 1 on his rear getting nerfed in a unpassable area getting slammed so hard the IRC tracker comes on and asks if they are ok....TWICE thats to much also causing damage so bad the engine locks up..Not a get out of the way tap.I dont think anyone that races TT or Class one would stand for it...

Start calling people out! Post their names and their team name on here, then maybe they will start learning their lesson. I never excessively nerf people unless they deserve it (hitting them once, then them roosting me and trying to run). Started 70th in this race 2 years ago and never had to slam anybody. Nerfing can be done in a productive manner. It's not about "smashing some guys cage in coz it's off-road racing!" I respect everyone else I race against, and feel they respect me for the way I treat everybody on the track who is trying to have a good time like myself.

See ... now that's a good tap at about 7:24-7:30 ... professional and served it's point.

Listen guys...if someone nerfs you they've probably been in your dust for 5 minutes or more, your co dog should be checking that mirror every 30 seconds or less. Most nerf issues result from a driver not properly pulling over. 2/3 of the cars I catch won't pull over, 4/5 if they're in my class.

Excessive nerfing will always exist and the promoters will have a hard time keeping it in check without help. Take others advice and put a go pro on the back of your car. If you feel you have been nerfed too hard post it and send the link to the promoter along with your complaint.

Andy Mac has shown it can be done in a professional manner. For those who nerf too hard smile... You just might be on candid camera.
