How many of you use a "blinder" at the tree? I'm starting to put my visor down to block the first 2 bulbs and concentrate on the last amber. Who uses this system and has it worked to get better reaction times? Thanks

I've been doing it for years, but I just put one of the hands I use to grasp the wheel up to block the tree. The problem with using a blinder (like your visor) is the amount of room you'll need to shift it when switching lanes, if the groove is different from one week to the next, etc. I think it helps to block the opponent's tree, especially when bracket racing.
