Again...instead of forcing everone to buy a product that a small minority THINKS solves a problem that 90% of the racers do not see as an issue. Why not instead spend the effort toward keeping people out of harms way? If you were to walk across a busy freeway without being conciuos of your surroundings and get hit...who's liable? Standing behind a car doing a burnout and expecting NOT to be hit by something, be it a rock, nut, bolt or collector is irresponsible.Didn't an entire funny car body get launched into the crowd at the Charlotte race? Anyone hurt? What's NHRA going to do with that? Face it racing is dangerous even as a spectator, nascar, NHRA, local tracks people have and will continue to get hurt both as particpants and those merely watching. Knee jerk reactions have never solved anything,only a way of saying they've addressed the "issue". Now that said if this winter the rule still stands I'll be looking for options to abide by the ruling.
