No…. The next thing they’ll want is a throttle stop. There’s already a class for that called super-gas. Been there done that, it’s fine for the driver (that’s all you need to do) but if you like working on the car it’s kind of boring and it sucks to watch.

HAND, EYE, FOOT coordination is something you have to learn. Rea ction times given on time slips helped those that couldn't figure out how to cut a light. The best way to learn is PRACTISE..Here in the Portland area P I R on Wedsday nites eight mile. Start at 4 PM over at 10 P M. With good quality compeditors.

I just now seen a video of the Orlando stock winner doing this. That surely leaves out a third pedal car doing this. Personally I don't use a blinder. I'm not sure I could hold up a blinder then throw it to the side to shift my mopar. You have to even shift a mopar automatic in stock. There has been folks on here saying good drivers will teach us that they are good with or without. Ok bring it on.

Any updates on the current rule? Asking for a friend.

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
 

Well Bandit, I don't have any inside info. as some have mentioned they
have, but it has now been 2 weeks since an announcement was rumored
to be coming, and there has been none. I would guess, this is only a guess,
that the rules as noted are in place for 2023. NHRA added more
revisions to the 2023 Rule Book this week, and the Blinder rules were
included in that up-date.

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
 

Maybe someone from NHRA should post here and clarify if hand held blinders are permissible or not, given that there is video of most recent stock winner doing so, per above.
Especially since this horse is obviously not going to die.

The new blinder WTF

Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed
 

Makes you wonder what kind of enforcement the different divisions will apply. If common sense prevailed then they can ignore the rule altogether. I don't use a blinder but have made input to my SRAC representative that making a rule just to satisfy the interest/agenda of a single individual is unethical and a completely arbitrary rule which will have uneven enforcement and serves absolutely no real purpose.
