No Blinders

More often than not anymore, Comp cars and Top Sportsman cars are being pushed not pulled so the driver is the guy dictating where the car is going, not the golf cart. Based on that, he's the guy with the blinder and humongous hood scoop in his line of vision making the decision on where to go. Based on that, these cars are way more likely to hit something.

The cars that are being pushed instead of towed, the golf cart doing the pushing is in control of the car. If it is going in a wrong direction, the golf cart can stop it. Also, these cars are not driving way too fast in the pits to hurry back to cool the car off and get ready for the next round. Like Alan said, It's a few people that pushed the limit to the braking point, and the easiest fix is to ban all blinders. No measuring no interpreting.
