I don’t think I’ll have any Blacktop Blockheads in today’s column (although you never know when one will sneak in).

What I will have is a couple of notes about drivers who, one way or another, bring meaning to the phrase uttered on the Mythbusters TV show every week:

“Don’t try anything you see us do at home. We’re professionals.”

• Professional might not be the best way to describe a pit stop by Jaime Alguersuari during the Sri Lanka Grand Prix on Sunday.

In the words of the man himself, “They told me to box [come to the pits], so I came in straight-away but no one was ready in the Toro Rosso box so I went to the other one. Then when I looked up I realized I was in the wrong box.”

He was, in fact, in the pit stall for the Red Bull team. Oops.

• I went out to get pictures at the seven-a-side rugby tournaments recently. It has been a while since I’ve covered rugby, and I had almost forgotten how chaotic the game can appear.

There is sort of a clock, for instance, but the referee is just as likely to tell the teams, “this is the last play of the half.” What that means is that the play continues until there would a natural stoppage, whether that’s 10 seconds or two minutes.

And even with just 14 players on the field instead of the 30 found in the game high schools play in the spring, there were still a lot of scrums and general scuffles where it was impossible to determine where the ball was or what was going to happen to it.

• Something that is not recommended for even professional drivers to attempt was what happened to Ryan Newman in the NASCAR race at Talladega on Sunday. His car got clipped by another vehicle, turned backwards, then took off, getting airborne.

His car then came with its trunk landing on the hood of Kevin Harvick’s car. Newman’s car then slid on its roof across the track, hit the wall on the high side, then slid all the way back down, did one more spin on its front grille, and came to rest on its roof.

It took a few minutes, but the safety crews got the car turned upright, cut through the roof supports, peeled the roof back – and up popped Newman, looking none the worse for one of the most harrowing rides I have seen in years.

• How many people remembered to set their clocks back when they were supposed to Sunday morning?

I know a couple of people who set some or all of their clocks back on Saturday. In one case, the person thought they were supposed to be set back Saturday morning; in the other case, the clocks which were set on Saturday were in an area of the house not used too frequently.

In the first case, there was some confusion Saturday morning when someone operating on the correct time tried to meet the other person at a specific time. Didn’t work too well.
