Reason I have thought about this goes back to race we where at this spring,It was big money bracket race. While Lil brother was stagging a track personal pulled up to his right and gets out of golfcart outside of guardrail but still in his vision. He remained cool stopped,regrouped and drilled other guy .002 to .013.Who just happen to be one of the series golden boys.Might not have been intentional but sure looked funny.Yea hes the very com one in family,his big brother not so much.

It doesn't sound like you don't need blinders it sounds like you need to put your brother in the car!

Practice tree or stop light is still hand eye coordination. It's all about training fast twitch muscle to react to you eye. Muscle memory is key.

Nobody drives this car but me. Lil brother might have 12 years of youth on his side. But electronics can make up for that. Never said I can't do it as matter of fact have done so ,might have been 20 years then I did not have the electronics then either.Cutting conssitent dbl o's very common with all of the driver aids.As matter of fact there is a post on DRR about guy who just won divisonal title at 73 years young and had two tripple 0 and one in final round to win title.
Cutting down field of veiw to equal to same as rear engine car will just eliminate possible issue I have been told of by guys who use to run fed's.Also told by two they never realized differance until they drove RED afterwards.One told me he went from door car to fed and felt like he was sitting in another time zone from the tree. Its all a perspective thing I guess.

I should have put a smiley face on my post. It was only meant in jest.
