Someone commented live and said there were lots of red lights/bad lights this weekend due to no blockers so now the "safety rule" is being revisited. That's comical and makes for good material. People sucking without blockers is cause for revisiting a rule that was so hell-bent on safety last week. Yep my words. Don't let my apathy toward blockers be confused with opposition toward them. Anyone who watches my show knows I don't care who has them. A common sense approach makes more sense than a ban and that is probably what is coming next.
Now onto your words...who said anything about those drivers not being good? Go listen again, about 3.5 million more times, and click on all the commercials.
It starts right about here.
As for your 2nd-4th points.. I literally touch on this stuff on a weekly basis. Maybe I'll tackle excessive braking next week. Keep watching.

I guess blinder guys like Jeff Taylor, Brad Zaskowski, and Greg Standfield just suck (according to you). Once again, your words not mine.
Here is a crazy idea maybe NHRA could focus on the Tech side of the sport a little more than someone's personal driving style. I mean where does this stop? When a sanctioning body like NHRA is telling people how they can or can’t drive a race car that they OWN that might be a problem. I don't care if you count the bulbs as the tree comes down or stare at the bottom blub or God forbid blind out the top two bulbs on the tree. Do whatever works for you. I have yet to hear an example from NHRA or anyone about an accident in the pits that was caused from someone not being able to see because of a blinder. Other then when Romero ran over Mark Nowicki in fall Vegas staging lanes in 2007. And that's was a helmet blocking issue not a blinder issue.
I would think if NHRA was really truly concerned about racers safety they would institute a rule for top end excessive breaking. I mean there are 4-6 S/SS accidents per season due to this and yet nothing is said about this every year. So what is it NHRA, is it a Safety issue or a personal agenda.
This blinder BS all stems from one cry baby racer with some NHRA pull that has been crying to NHRA Brass about Greg Stanfield killing the tree every round this past season because he has a killer set up with a blinder. Its not a safety issue, it’s a racer that doesn’t blind crying. That is all nothing more.
