My main concern is rules creep. At this point windsheilds are readily available. You will be replacing lexan once a year since it does scratch and ding from rocks.
Removing 10lbs from high up in the car is definetly an advantage. I do not know how much but still an advantage.

If the rules get changed them I will support them. I am for no new rules.

See you this weekend.

this particualr tank was old, and had many scrathes and gouges from "use".

prior to my re-setting the tank up, i used some buffing compounds of various grits, and got alomost every mark out of the tank. i know it made it a bit thinner(very little) from doing the process, but is this something that could be done with the lexan windshield?


I have approached this subject on my car by simply buying a used beater street car for parts.
i got an 88 that had current tags, strong motor/gearbox, and good glass all the way around for $1500.
seemed like a good investment for the racing habit.

My windshield is being replace this friday for $222.90 installed. Prices ranged all the way up to $380 installed.

I live in a rural area and glass was available the next day.

I now have the Pro-Tint windshield protector and will install that before Nationals. It is a single layer of impact resistent film made by 3M. Cost for single layer is $84 delivered.

Lets see how that holds up before running to the Lexan.
