Default Re: Blinder/Blocker clarification needed

I read this forum almost every day but almost never post but this has my dander up. My blinder is 3X3 in and 3X4 with notch cut out mounted permanently on rollbar. They do not impede my vision at all when driving in pits or loading in trailer. However i will say it is somewhat limited in the few seconds when i close one eye as the tree is coming down. If somehow i hit someone while driving in pits then i just was not paying attention or that person was not. Have i seen oversize blinders and aids racers use......YES. NHRA just needs to give us some COMMON SENSE guidelines and enforce them (period). I do not think this new rule is all about safety but more someones personal agenda. If we cannot get some kind of compromise on this we might expect in the future to be told we have to have both hands on wheel at 10&2 at all times. This last comment may sound absurd but my sweet grandaughters driving instructor told her this and she took him literally. She could not turn a 90 degree corner without running over the curb. I'm through with my rant HAVE A NICE DAY.
