Common sense has gone the way of the dodo.

And why would you NOT remove "all of your safety gear" before you go past the time booth? Have you got something to hide?

Nothing to hide. Come to midwest and look my car over top to bottom, front to back anytime. Put up the money and I'll tear it down to the last nut and bolt. Heck, I'll open up datalogger files for your viewing pleasure also.

If I pull of track, drive to time booth and scales, and do not have to get out of car, ie. fuel check, my jacket and pants don't come off until i'm at trailer. Good enough answer for you?

Actually, not really. Blinders/Blockers don't concern your pants and jacket. Are you taking your helmet off?
I have no questions at all about your car. I'm sure that's good.

Ya know Billy, this thread may take an interesting turn. Do you actually think NHRA may take a look see into the cars while waiting to fuel check and scale. You know , look at the OEM sun visors to make sure they haven’t been trimmed down. Who would do such a thing ? Maybe NHRA will be checking the floorboards/ seats real closely for us guys that hold up a playing card to block. I usually keep 4-5 on my seat at all times. But hey, this is all about SAFETY ….RIGHT. ?????

Jeez! I hope not! Since I've been playing with this Cavalier and am getting the hang of this laptop stuff I've been "driving" the car from the stands. There's a cardboard cut-out of me in the car!

Billy, I hope you are not alluding to that very successful superstock racer from your part of the world that had the wires running through his jacket….that’s just an urban myth isn’t it ???

M.J., I wouldn't know about that urban myth but I HAVE heard for years that Peter is really a cyborg sent from the future to kill Sarah Conners.

What incidents are they talking about? Seems like there would be lots of posts if someone got mowed down in the pits over this.

Heck no I don't take the helmet off. Then everyone would see the camera and photoelectric sensors inside helmet and taped to the face shield. I guess that's why everyone says I look goofy at fuel check.

Whoops. Cat out of the bag.
