You can also tape the top of your helmet shield then lift it after you leave.

Then you won't have to move it from lane to lane.

Hope you never race at night. It is all but impossible to effectively block the first two ambers with out seeing a glow around your blinder.

My home track shines a spot light on the tree to eliminate the halo effect.

That may be true, but there are people who have sucess with it. It will cost very little time and effort to try. My lights have been incredibly inconsistent, so I'm willing to try anything....I appreciate everyone's opinions an ideas though
