Being in the insurance world for many many years the term" Liability" for all concerns by NHRA comes in mind for the reason for using a sensible blinder

Here’s an idea and rule that I think will solve the problem.
Racers must stop on the return road immediately after exiting the track. And remove or move blinders out of the way.(take helmet off if blinder is on helmet visor, flip up out of the way if mounted to the roll cage ect) To prevent an obstructed view. I don’t use a blinder. But this seems like an extremely easy thing to solve (people getting hit in the pits by cars due to blinders) and keep the racers happy. It shouldn’t be this complicated. |

On my RACE QUIP full face helmet, the top of the shield in the closed position is approximately 1" above the opening in the helmet. The helmet comes from the manufacturer with a 1" black tape across the top of the shield with RACE QUIP logo. On this particular model, the net change in visibility as a result of the amendment is ZERO. Just some info ........

Not sure ? Maybe NHRA must show intent for the insurance company.
