Depth perception screwed or do I just stink at racing?
 

OK a little background. I started racing 3 years ago, raced for a year started off really well and acceled rather quickly. Ran at 6 local tracks and ran consistently well every time, most times I would finish 1/2/3/4. Took a break for a year and a half now back, and I suck more than ever!

Got back into racing last week with a new truck, new system but attended a big race at a huge track......

With that being said. My local tracks were small to smedium (smallish medium?) size tracks. the two events I raced at once coming back were big and huge. I found that I have a hard time feeling connected to the car once it gets further out and I tend to go a lot slower and being more cautious. I know it's been awhile since I raced but I remember even back when I raced 3 times a week, I would feel this unconnected feeling at further distances.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? I tried searching google but couldn't figure out what to search for. Lol. Maybe I need glasses or something.

Interesting. I wish RC had more biomechanics and performance education. Look at major sports and how in depth they go over every single topic - eye dominance, posture, angles, repetition, etc. RC seems to ignore all this stuff.

I love topics like this. I have been practicing with the Vrc pro simulator. Trying to zoom completely out to improve my control at distance.

Yeah I figured I'd just throw it out there since that's how I feel at certain tracks. I thought some others may feel the same way.

Getting older sucks! Definitely get those eyes checked! Good luck!

I have depth perception issues on larger tracks. My right eye has an astigmatism while my left doesn't. On larger tracks I wonder how people can choose a certain line when I'm lucky just to keep it on the track at all. At closer distances it's not a problem. As a kid I didn't seem to have any problems. Yup, getting older sucks.

They say this could be from looking at a computer screen to much..:eek:

Practice.

My vision seems fine, but always looking for anything that can help, so I went to a eye doctor and I def needed glasses. I only wear them when I race, def see things better.

Well good thing I don't use one of those anymore. Lol

I'm going to go have my eyes checked out.

Everybody stop with the getting older thing.......I am still young....I am still young. ..damn it's not working.

bifocals
 

Just wait until you get no line progressive bifocals. Now that adds an new challenge to wearing glasses and growing up or getting old old old

this is a great thread,, to bad i didnt think of it .. hahaha...

Growing older but not up !!!

I still play with toy cars !!!!
