Wonder what NHRA is gonna think when I leave the starting line with no hands on the wheel cause they're against my face shield (that is only down between stage bulb and low gear BTW), blocking peripheral vision where a couple of pieces of tape used to be. Safe?
My vision (along with most people's I believe) is limited when wearing a full face helmet to begin with. Will you get punished for wearing the helmet, with no modifications per the new rule, driving thru pits to your pit area after a run? I see several drivers that do not remove any of their safety gear, barring a situation like fuel check, until they return to their pit.
I know the way some people drive thru pits these days, both pit vehicles and race cars, you would never see them with an unmodified, NHRA legal, full face helmet. Will you now be required to remove all of your safety gear before NHRA will allow you past time booth or scales in order to have an unrestricted view when driving your race car to your pit after a run?
Common sense has gone the way of the dodo.
