Stupidity such as that is EXACTLY what I knew would come from this rule. It's pretty funny, actually, that this rule is a "safety" issue, but "ONLY" in 1-2 classes. ROFLMFAO.





And then, when people start trying to get others a DQ, starting arguments and fights, it'll be worse than Saturday night at the podunk race track.




How sad that a supposedly relatively adult sport among friends is degenerating to such a childish level.
This rule doesn’t apply to my class but I have a brand new Simpson Super Bandit helmet. No way I’m peeling anything off. They can go pound sand. Ridiculous. Guys used to put 6 piece of wood all the way across the windshield and crazy plastic pieces attached to their helmets . I can see that but c’mon get real.
