[Alan Roehrich]

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we see the unintended consequences of an egregiously poor decision on the part of NHRA.


Instead of a new rule, all that was necessary, if the concern is actually safety, was to:


A. Inspect all blinders in tech, force the removal of anything that doesn't fit the rules, and issue warnings, that any blinder in place while not on the track is an immediate, non arguable DQ.


B. Have the same staff that monitors scales and fuel check verify that all blinders are out of the way when the vehicle leaves the track, and issue DQ's to ALL violators.




Problem solved. No questions, no new rules, no arguments, and no goofy crap on the starting line.
