Rear View Mirror Mount

I know that at the track it is difficult to get a good rear view of whats behind you. I bought one of those JC Whitney wide angle mirrors that work pretty good but mounting it on the dash gives you alot of interference.

I recall last year at Pocono when Bill K busted his mirror mount on the dash and we duct taped it to the top of the windshield. This gave me an idea.

I took a spare piece of alum from a radiator mount I did not use and mounted it on the sun visor mounts. Easy to install and easy to remove.

Roscoe,
Unlike motors, when it comes to mirrors, bigger is better.

Cranky,
Well the thing is that when it's mounted on the dash the roll bar and me get in the way of my left side. With the mirror mounted high you can see alot more.
