Re: Using blinders.
It takes a bit of seat time to get used to the blinder. You have to cover everything but the bottom yellow. Takes a lot of concentration. Unless you have a stocker that leaves hard you might not be able to hit the tree as fast as you would like. I use the bottom of the roll bar as my blinder. Just tilt my head up a bit to blind the bulbs. One other thing if you wear glasses and have bifocal or progressive lenses you might want to get a pair of single vision glasses to race with. you don't want to be looking at the tree through the reading part of the lens.

Re: Using blinders.
What do you guys do for night races and blinders? I hear a lot of people complain about light bleeding through.
I`ve never used a blinder with a lot of night racing, so just curious.

Re: Using blinders.
Pacific Raceway runs due West and usually takes a break around sunset. I made a "blinder" in case I got caught anyway. It's just a yellow plastic sunshade hinged to my roll cage with velcro strips on it and a separate rectangle of double black painted plastic to stick to it. If I need I can stop short of staging, flip it down and position the black panel to block the sun. With some trimming it would work for the lights, too.
