Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
Bottom line, if the blinder was that big of an advantage EVERYONE would be using them...it was your choice! If they changed a rule for every pit accident, we wouldn't even be racing because the insurance companies (that we as participants foot the bill for) would set all of our rules.

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
Maybe all 7 of the current SRAC reps can chime in and give us the details of the conversations that they’ve had with NHRA authorities over the past year or 2 on the subject.[/QUOTE]
In the time I've been a SRAC rep I can't recall any previous conversation about blinders.

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
After taking with great racer/ friend today. If there are racers crying about a few winning with a blinder , guess what? They will still win because they are better racers. All you did was pizz them off. Careful what you wish for….

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
I have been considering removing my blinder for awhile now because it is apparently blocking my view of the win light in my lane.

Reminds me of a particular era when a few people were accusing Bertozzi, Biondo, and Fletcher of having a trans brake in Stock, and various other ways of cheating. What a joke.
