Wonder what NHRA is gonna think when I leave the starting line with no hands on the wheel cause they're against my face shield (that is only down between stage bulb and low gear BTW), blocking peripheral vision where a couple of pieces of tape used to be. Safe?
My vision (along with most people's I believe) is limited when wearing a full face helmet to begin with. Will you get punished for wearing the helmet, with no modifications per the new rule, driving thru pits to your pit area after a run? I see several drivers that do not remove any of their safety gear, barring a situation like fuel check, until they return to their pit. ![]() Common sense has gone the way of the dodo. Ryan W.

And why would you NOT remove "all of your safety gear" before you go past the time booth? Have you got something to hide?

If I pull of track, drive to time booth and scales, and do not have to get out of car, ie. fuel check, my jacket and pants don't come off until i'm at trailer. Good enough answer for you? ![]() Ryan W. Stock 315 Stock 315 |

Actually, not really. Blinders/Blockers don't concern your pants and jacket. Are you taking your helmet off?
I have no questions at all about your car. I'm sure that's good.

Ya know Billy, this thread may take an interesting turn. Do you actually think NHRA may take a look see into the cars while waiting to fuel check and scale. You know , look at the OEM sun visors to make sure they haven’t been trimmed down. Who would do such a thing ? Maybe NHRA will be checking the floorboards/ seats real closely for us guys that hold up a playing card to block. I usually keep 4-5 on my seat at all times. But hey, this is all about SAFETY ….RIGHT. ?????

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!

Billy, I hope you are not alluding to that very successful superstock racer from your part of the world that had the wires running through his jacket….that’s just an urban myth isn’t it ???

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.
