Blinder/Blocker clarification needed

Come on. Just use your sun visor. It's factory installed. Everyone still has to catch the bottom bulb.

Mr. Future, it’s a lil harder to use a factory sun visor when you have a full cage in the car …

There is a sun visor I believe is from a jeep that has a small bar type through the sun visor that you can use a hose clamp to the bar above the windshield that worked perfect all you do when after the run flip it up very simple and effective according to the rule i will try and find out the part number . it was a long time ago i got this sun visor I will also try and post a picture ,not sure how to do this on this web site ??
OK Just goggle jeep sun visor and there are many to choose from i just did that they will work perfect except when running against me lol

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we see the unintended consequences of an egregiously poor decision on the part of NHRA.


Instead of a new rule, all that was necessary, if the concern is actually safety, was to:


A. Inspect all blinders in tech, force the removal of anything that doesn't fit the rules, and issue warnings, that any blinder in place while not on the track is an immediate, non arguable DQ.


B. Have the same staff that monitors scales and fuel check verify that all blinders are out of the way when the vehicle leaves the track, and issue DQ's to ALL violators.




Problem solved. No questions, no new rules, no arguments, and no goofy crap on the starting line.

I don’t use a blinder or deep stage
That being said
Too fukin bad get over it
No blinder is what is is.
Nooooooooo
The world we live in is about who’s the biggest crybaby and let’s appease them
Let just go racing already

And there is no tech so it will be up to us racers to enforce

Can’t wait till someone using a hand held blinder is tossed out on a win for using one

Deal with it.


Let’s do a Classracer poll. To see how many racers use it

Bet it’s a small minority.

Can’t wait to rat someone out

Make a visor spacer very similar to a carb space for roll cage clearance. Will the visor be model specific or just fitting under the corporate umbrella? Clarification please.

Any updates or rulings from Orlando?

I the way I read the rule:

Anything found in your car that that can be used for blinding and is not the factory sun visor is grounds for DQ at anytime?

Don i could be wrong but i wouldn't think the above would be legal according to the rule unless im missing something.

"Unaltered OEM sun visor mounted in OEM location permitted."

Kenny if the dividers are too short racers will be leaving off of the slower cars tree.

They’ve obviously never tried to stage a car at Bowling Green in the late afternoon or Pacific Raceway or Gainesville for first round Friday morning.
