  BLOCKING - ALL SERIES
  BLOCKING IS ALLOWED WITH 1 LAP TO GO, BUT ONLY IN A SAFE MANNER.
  
  Blocking is defined as:
  Suddenly changing the racing line in an attempt to cut off and prevent an obviously faster car from making a pass. The act of blocking is considered unacceptable, unsportsmanlike.
  
  * The responsibility for being patient and waiting for an opportunity to make a clean pass rests on the driver attempting to make the pass. No one is obligated to simply move aside to allow another car to pass. Every driver on the lead lap has the right to continue to race his/her established racing line. If they do so, that DOES NOT constitute blocking.
