If you are the quicker car and want to "block" out distractions, make your blinder larger and bring it closer to you. Make a blinder that had a up and down slot in it, to block the other side of the tree and some of your porifial past the tree. Just a thought.

Thanks Not a bad idea, I made a blinder, its just a basic piece of black plastic 3x5? that i use a magnetic bulldog clip to my roll bar, Ill try it this sunday, but at this point i have no idea if its big enough etc, and i havent even notched out the top for pre and stage lights, Im hoping we get some free time trials in the morning to try it, otherwise ill have to go back to 2-2300 as we only get two time trials before elims start. That low it doesn't 60ft near as well as it does at 3100, near a tenth difference. I do have a full face helmet now and it does help the side some, ive noticed myself watching the other tree a few times to see if hes green,lol, then i switch back over to mine, and i know thats not good! Not all the time just noticed ive done it.Our track does have blinders between sides of bulbs, but u can still see them some.
