Blinder/Blocker clarification needed - Page 8

jmcarter · 02-11-2023, 10:55 AM

If the racer who reportedly requested the change has enough influence to have rules changed I’d love to know who it is so I can possibly get a few more tweaks to the rule book. Anyone “in the know” can PM me the name and I’ll provide a six pack of your favorite beverage.

Surely the aforementioned incident at Orlando was an overreach/overreaction by a tech official and by the No Problem Division race (or certainly the Baby Gators) this will be ironed out.

Any associations adopting the binder verboten rule?

The blinder deal surely was never in anyone I know's radar. Out of the 6 folks I associate with. One uses a sun visor. I happened to pull up last year's Jegs race where there were over 128 cars in stock. There weren't that many at all using a blinder. I'm guessing less than 10. I did hear there was some rumbling in the stagging lanes at the end of the year over champions. Measuring their skills and how they achieved them. Maybe look there.

Just making a point on obstruction being a hazard in the pits. I'll reduce the size to make the visibility greater.

Was my #1 suspect but actually wished it was some no-name racer who just happened to have NHRA’s ear. Apparently what happened at the 2013 SLC Divisional still rings true.

Charley, I believe your spell check is malfunctioning.

Y’all ain’t speaking of the world champ that Lambeck took a dive for in the finals of a points race are you? I bet the trophy still rings hollow.
