Re: Handicapped or not
Just my 2cents...

I agree with EricVanWyck and eagle 33199. It may be a tough pill to swallow, but some times you just have to play with the cards you're dealt. Do you think (for example) it would be fair for your 4'0" driver to get a 1' boost while our 4'8" driver doesn't get any boost? It is probably not appropriate to draw a line in the sand and say "you can have booster that makes you ____ tall, but no taller."

Not to rant too much, but consider that if disadvantages are always compensated for, then what is there left to compete with?

Clearly you're not overtly trying to get an edge, which is good, but if you have a choice between a less talented driver who can see and a more talented driver who can't see as well... then you might be giving your team an unfair advantage.
