Okay, consider this -- if your Miata was used only for autocrossing,
would you remove the sun visors? If so, why?
[I recognize that the danger of going down this path is that
especially in Stock, most of the cars are not only for autocrossing.
But the rules must be tailored to the national level, with looser
enforcement at the regional level, so I submit that it makes sense to
consider it this way.]
I'll also bring up the age-old argument that if you make it legal to
remove visors or mirrors, then everyone will have to do so in order to
remain competitive. Not a big cost item, but do we want to introduce
yet another difference between top Stock category cars and similar
cars as they are seen on the street?
