Ok so it's late in the day, the sun is shining directly into the driver, hmmm, can't block out the sun so it's hard to see the tree and my goodness what will the next rule be, no burnouts because of some environmentalist wacko ....

I thought it was Great were they stoped deep staging and one of the frist race after that a well know deep stager won the race

A good racer will always be a good racer whatever the rules are

i dont care what the rules are as long as there the same for everyone

would this "tilt" the advantage back to the slower cars now because of leaving first? or would most guys still prefer to wait and chase.......

Happy Holidays everyone!

all you guys that wanna keep blinders,buttons and so on..i hope you never bicker about the .90 classes. not much difference if you have all that!...i think it's good they put driver back in and maybe open up the "window" to win a race..and sure...the good racers will probably win even more..just as it should be!

tgriffith · 12-09-2007, 09:06 AM

anyone ever raced with blinders clearly understand how dangerous it could be,,I have a blinder I use and It admit its DANGEROUS,,when the other car stages and I stage,,I cant see anything but the tree,,,,if the starter walked up beside my car,,,wont see it,,,,so the rule isnt to stop racers winning,,,,unfortunately,,,the races winning the most found that "pro tree style" of leaving worked like a mother,,,,,,

Its bad business for 1 racer to win all the races,,,but winning racers always dominate,,they find a way to win,,,its the sanctioning bodys job to keep it competitive,,,its the racers job to win,,,so each is constantly changing,,,,

I wonder if this will apply to the local NHRA weekly bracket races as well??

"By the book" YES, but of course all of that is left up to the track operators to follow or ignore the rules.
General Regulations means everyone entering the gate.

It is not a revision, it is in the new 2008 NHRA Rulebook, Section 4 - General Regulations, subsection 7:8 Windshield,Windows.
