Hi Dave! Good to hear from you!

I've been focusing on my '79 Firebird the past couple of years in Super Pro and Super Street. Won the Division 5 ET Finals this past season in Super Pro running 11.20's...

What've you been up to?

I don’t block but it would seem possible to have glasses with a portion of one lens taped over. After staging close one eye and the tree is blocked. Just a thought.

Larry,
Tape on the sunglasses will work for the non critical areas, but not when trying to block the center yellow's. If your blocking your opponents lane from "movement", then yes it works fine. But if your trying to block the individual bulbs from one another,...it won't work,, their too close together.
You can't hold your head that steady. Any movement at all makes HUGE differences at where your aiming.

How about a special thin lens fixed to your regular lens (a la motocross style when they race on muddy surface track). After the burnout you have your regular len with this thin lens over and tear it just after the tree or during the run in order to keep the security potential problem.
Just a thought also...
