Wait, you have to wear your helmet in the pits driving to the lanes?

Just put the blinder rule back in !!!!! There were guys at no problem running with tape all over the sides of their shields & nothing was said. This is all bs. Put it back like it was & almost everyone will be happy

Everyone except that ONE GUY and his Tech Pal

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

Re: New rule, a one inch visor strip is now LEGAL
 

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 ........

Don- why does NHRA think only SK/SS are so dangerous and not the other classes ??

Re: New rule, a one inch visor strip is now LEGAL
 

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