2024 Blinder Rule Stock/SS
 
Alright who has the skinny on this? Will they be back or not? Inquiring minds want to know! I've never used one in competition but am seriously considering it after a rash of redlights this year.

Been told it's definitely gonna be a hot topic . That being said the folks I spoke with both our sportsmen rep and some NHRA folks it didn’t sound to positive. After watching so many of the stk / ss guys at the Dutch fiddling with some resemblanceof factory visors there's gotta be a better way. Ie.no bigger than 3x5 must swing up out.of the way when on return road .... If you guys want.the rule reversed let's hear from ya .

Blinders are for real slow stockers at the finish line when racing real fast cars.

You guys take this stuff way to serious for me, they just built a new track 70 miles from my house, think I will get an open trailer and go bracket racing, instead of a $300,000 tow operation, I will buy a pit spot and call it good.

This might be a wait and see subject.

Adger what is the lawsuit about? I haven't heard anything about that.
My thoughts on this is I've never done it before in eliminations but NHRA claims it was a safety issue but I can think of at least two times this year they sent us down a track under unsafe conditions and one time it was sprinkling rain so I can't imagine this is what they consider a safety issue.

Sounds like the nhra official had his binders on to not know it was raining

Coot, I was able to have a great convo with one of the sportsman starters at an airport and I asked him about this topic. He said the big issue if the starter has to tell drivers to shiut their cars off or back up, he doesn't want their to be any obstructions.
