Our blinder has the factory vanity mirror so he was checking his teeth just to make sure his smile was pristine.

Jeez! I hope not! Since I've been playing with this Cavalier and am getting the hang of this laptop stuff I've been "driving" the car from the stands. There's a cardboard cut-out of me in the car!

M.J., I wouldn't know about that urban myth but I HAVE heard for years that Peter is really a cyborg sent from the future to kill Sarah Conners.

What incidents are they talking about? Seems like there would be lots of posts if someone got mowed down in the pits over this.

What are these incidents that you speak of?

NHRA wants to be all about safety. Maybe they should look at fuel check. Highly flammable liquids being dispensed in very close proximity to piping hot engine compartments. What “safety” is happening there? Lucky to find a fire extinguisher laying around most of the time. And they’re using the excuse about incidents of people getting run over in the pits to outlaw blinders? If I were a lawyer, I’d be all over their fuel checking procedures before I’d worry about a piece of tape on a windshield or helmet. Whole blinder deal stinks of rotten fish and has all the traits of someone’s personal agenda. Kinda like collector tethers all over again. That is all. Walther out.
