Wouldn't this poll be somewhat like me as stick racer voting on whether or not the auto trans racers can use a trans brake button?

Jim look at it kind of like our democracy in general, it should be what a majority of the people want and not what one particular person wants. That's called a tyranny. I never used a blinder or blocked but when they changed the rule it pissed me off simply because of why it was done. The rule was changed seemingly because of one person, if it was a safety issue then it's a safety issue in all classes. If I'm wrong about this someone can correct me and I'll gladly change my stance on it.

The unfortunate side effect of this is the loss of some rather intriguing uses of sheet metal, carbon fiber and other materials for the blockers,with some very impressive craftmanship. Eric

I don't think a blinder is actually a enhancement, more of a preference. I'd vote for allowing it again.

Therein lies the problem. It is not supposed to be NHRA's sand box. NHRA and the sand box are supposed to belong to the racers. That's where everything has gone wrong.

If the racers were in charge, the NHRA would be very short lived.
