? on the rear view

[critter]

just wondering why we cant run the rear view mirror ?? i myslef think where goin to see more wrecks with out em , and i also liked to look back and see who was comin so i could move , just a ?

Critter, this was discussed and explained immediately after the rules meeting...I think turning 40 affected you!!!

I like mirrors too.....for safety reasons.

However, we see it race after race....mirror driving. More people are watching who's behind them rather than what's in front! I would like to see the mirrors stay, but in reality....we have flaggers, lights AND scanners. There should be no reason why cars are not stopping when we throw a red....other than lost brakes.

[critter]

ok then thanks lol was just wondering thats all

[richardpetey]

Dumb rule! Rear views help more than they hurt, especially because we can't hear you guys clearly on the scanners....................

have to agree with petey , and i know it keeps me from gettin run over hehe

[DerbyN8-128]

What, you guys don't understand the series of beeps we often here over the scanner?

It is what it is...

A few guys use them improperly...

Everyone else pays.

Mirrors are for combing your hair. Not racing phil

if you got hair....

Not to bust on my enduro buddies, Phil....................
But driving without a mirror ain't no thrill..........................
Let the wind keep my doo looking fair.......................
I'll use the mirror to keep ya outa my hair...................

well since i dont have hair can i keep my mirror lol

I think Mirrors on any type of race cars suck! Can you see putting rear view mirrors on late models or Modifieds at Grandview!

[richardpetey]

Not to break your bubble Travis but most LM's and Mods not only have rearview mirrors but side mirrors................
You sit so low in a pavement LM that you can't see anything, its tough even seeing over the hood................

nascar runs them too , but rules r rules oh well

[Danger83Ranger]

from my understanding is that the mirrors are not allowed anymore because they were used for blocking. where does it state that its illegal to block in racing? its part of racing, always has been, even if its a team mate blocking for another team mate...racing is a team sport plain and simple. but in another sense, this is enduros, not racing, enduros. most people have forgotten that... and the costs of this is getting higher and higher every year. its unbelievable what it costs to run a modified just for 2250 to win, you'll never break even. when enduros come to mind, we think of cheap, in one aspect yes it is cheap. but its supposed to be a junk car race, we are basically required to build a factory stock at this point other than a few small changes. a lot of the rules are for safety, i understand, bit a lot of the drivers on the track are normal people looking for that racing fix. 95% of the drivers are using mirrors to stay OUT of trouble, like we do on the road. not having mirrors is unsafe, it should be REQUIRED. JMO of course
