Blinder/Blocker clarification needed

[jmcarter]

Was my #1 suspect but actually wished it was some no-name racer who just happened to have NHRA’s ear. Apparently what happened at the 2013 SLC Divisional still rings true.

[Charley Downing]

Im glad to see everyone voicing there opinions on this topic Justin time for the season to kick off

[MR DERBY CITY]

Charley, I believe your spell check is malfunctioning.

[Larry Hill]

Y’all ain’t speaking of the world champ that Lambeck took a dive for in the finals of a points race are you? I bet the trophy still rings hollow.

[Jim Caughlin]

In light of recent revelations, how do you all feel as a class racers that one of only seven SRAC members that are chosen to represent ALL of us instead chose to use his clout in that position to instead advocate for a rule change that would benefit him at the expense of his competitors? Maybe you don't run a blinder but what if he had come after a rule change that affected you instead? Let's hope that we chose better in my more recent group of SRAC reps.

I have no doubt you have been reading this thread, be a man and get on this site and try to justify your actions. You my friend are the lowest form of pond scum, I'm not sure how you can look yourself in the mirror.

As a SRAC member, one would hope Justin Lamb would offer some clarity to his position.

To be fair, we don’t know how or what was presented to the NHRA team. We only know the NHRA response, which was not likely to be the best response.

So in my view, the real detailed response should come from Lonnie as the tech official right?

If they (NHRAtech) felt that the true need for safety off track was needed, why not solve for that?

If they felt that the blinders or blinders combined with other driver legal driver aids added up to an unfair advantage, why not say so?

He may have presented this to NHRA as a safety issue to make it sound more palatable but that's not why he wanted the rule change, Blinders have been a bone of contention to him for quite some time and he used his position on the SRAC to finally get it done. He has said that outright to fellow racers more than once (obviously not Stock and SS racers though).

See Larry’s post (#80), Lamb won the title by a single point over Drew Skillman.
