while I think this is a good rule,,,If it were up to a vote,,,I would vote to allow blinders and blocking

Recently, thinking that Nhra/Ihra would never do away with button leaving,,starting using helmet blinders and they ARE VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!,,, once I stage and the other car stages,,I cant see anything but the tree until I leave and pull the shield up,,,,anything could happen,,starter walk out in front,,,you need to have an ABSOLUTE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW of where your going BEFORE you hit the throtte,,,,,if you guys dont understand why its a saftey rule,,,then Im clueless why
