Good Lord, why so complicated...
I sent a letter to the powers that be at NHRA proposing to reduce the max size from 4x8 down to 12 sq inch max (which is plenty big) and require that any blinder be removed or swiveled up any time you were on the return road or in the pits, didn't get anywhere with that as a proposed revision to the rules.
