ABSTRACT:
A racing mirror apparatus having a plurality of markings on the reflecting surface of the mirror which correspond to estimated sizes of the reflection of a vehicle which is trailing the racing vehicle at a plurality of predetermined distances. The racing mirror is disposed in an opening in the lower panel portion of a side door. The mirror apparatus is adjustable to various angular positions which provide reflections of a trailing vehicle at a location corresponding to an estimated position of the trailing vehicle at a predetermined time or place in a bracket race.
