A real blinder takes much less windshield than a sunvisor. Just doesnt make good sense as it is written

There are probably 100 bracket cars for every Stock or SS car, it apparently is not a safety issue for them to use a blinder.

It cannot be illegal for "safety reasons" in two classes of door slammers, and "safe and legal" for 100 times as many door slammers in every other class. That's utterly ludicrous. They can make any rule they want, of course. That doesn't make it fair, reasonable, or legitimate.This is strictly a result of some "favorite's" tears and whines.

I don’t use a blinder, my opposition is solely based on an arbitrary rule handed down without discussion within the SRAC and to suit the wishes of one of their “favorites”.

The same can be said for SFI flexplates.
If a Racer can't concentrate well enough to stare at a bulb without the aid of a blinder then maybe that Racer shouldn't be racing! I thought this is why NHRA put "blinders" on the tree!
