If somehow i hit someone while driving in pits then i just was not paying attention or that person was not. Have i seen oversize blinders and aids racers use......YES. NHRA just needs to give us some COMMON SENSE guidelines and enforce them (period). I do not think this new rule is all about safety but more someones personal agenda. If we cannot get some kind of compromise on this we might expect in the future to be told we have to have both hands on wheel at 10&2 at all times. This last comment may sound absurd but my sweet grandaughters driving instructor told her this and she took him literally. She could not turn a 90 degree corner without running over the curb. I'm through with my rant HAVE A NICE DAY.

That is one way to stop people from running a manual trans.
