Default Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed

I reached out to Pat Cvengros, Lonnie Grim and Ned Walliser to voice my support for allowing the freedom to choose to use a blinder or not. A portion of the response that I received back from Pat C is highlighted below.

We have been told that this rule is solely based on safety as stated in the clarification posted on www.nhraracer.com Jan 20. IF that was the case, why is there a need to mention the fact that Stock/SS are full tree categories and bringing a level playing field to the starting line??

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.

‘I am continually confident that the new blinder rule will promote much better safety across the entire property and the end result will also make for better racing as the advantage of said blinder has been removed thus bringing a very level playing field in reaction time at the starting line back into play. It is a full tree category. The substantial difference in other classes that are still allowed a blinder is that they primarily tow to the starting line and from the top end of the racetrack.’
