Re: No Blinders
OK, I'll bite. My blinders are 2" x 2" (one each for right and left lane) and are larger than they even need to be. If this rule is in regard to a safety issue, these tiny blinder in no way restrict my vision when I'm driving around the pits. If I switch over to a factory sun visor, my roll cage will not allow me to raise and lower it so it's going to be in a permanent down position and that will restrict my vision when I'm driving around the pits. If this is a vision safety issue, then let's ban hood scoop that are sometimes taller than the windshield, pretty sure those restrict driver vision. As a sidenote, I regularly see windows that are tinted so darkly that you can't even see inside the car, so I'm going to get booted for my 8 square inches of blinder but the black tinted window guy gets ignored? Also, how about the 'tunnel vision' helmets that apparently are legal, are those going to be banned also? I remember when this issue came up several years ago, there were some very specific guidelines about the total square inches that blinders could be but I don't see that info in the rulebook anymore, if that info got deleted and the size of blinders has sometimes gotten out of hand, isn't that the real problem?
