Default Re: blocking tree for bottom bulb

I ran them in my camaro and will never run without one again if bottom bulb racing. First you have to determine how consistent and quick you are on a Pro Tree. If you can't hit a pro tree .400, then you probably wouldn't want to go the blinder route. Hate to say this, but age may play a factor for most as does the TB button you use.

I cut 8x4 pieces of aluminum and mounted them to the roll cage with helmet hooks. I then just cut out a small piece so I could see the bottom bulb only. I tried cutting out a small section to see the pre-stage and stage bulbs, but I didn't like it for some reason. So now I lean to the side while staging while still keeping focus on where the bottom bulb is and then very slightly lean back to see the bottom bulb only.

For those who can watch the whole tree kudos to you, but I can't. I flatout stink at that as watching the bulbs come down kills me. It's kind of like watching your opponent go down track as you're still sitting there.
