There is no rule against this… until the Stock and Super Stock-specific amendments that are the basis of this topic.

In fact, General Regulations 10:7 specifically allows modifications to the helmet shield as long as the driver feels they still have an adequate field of vision.

Doesn't really matter to me. I sucked with the blinder. And, I sucked without the blinder,.lol

This is from the 2020 rule book, I don't know if it changed since then. But it looks like what some have or want has not been legal.

Could you please reference this “no sandbagging rule”? I’m not even sure what section to look.

Bluntly, I think the reactions are going to be polar opposite. Those in favor of this rule, feel they are at an advantage (publicly or privately in favor). Those against it, feel they are at a disadvantage.

You could have an accident with a stock visor in your tow truck. Should the feds ban them? Opening quotas out here won’t fill. We need races if you haven’t noticed. Different story back there and I get it. Doubles help but there’s a ton of travel and time. This doesn’t work well for the business owners and folks still working and not so much for retired folks either. Have you seen the Div 7 compact schedule?
There are several things that need to be addressed, blinders, not one of them.
