Heading back to the track for the first time in 2 years

[XakEp]

And I've got a quick question. The car has been sitting getting worked on for a long time now, and the windshield is cracked. Its not falling apart at all, but I'm a little worried about passing tech at the open Test and Tune night at Bandimere. Anyone have any idea?

How big is this crack?

I know most tracks will not allow cracked front windshields.

Ive got a very small crack in the immidiate upper right hand corner of my windshield. Its only about 2 in long. You can't even notice it unless your looking for it. Ive never had a problem passing tech w/ it. Where is your crack and how big is it?

One is a hail spiderweb crack, not big. The other goes from the top of the windshield down to the bottom. Its big.

Im almost positive they wont let you run the car then.

Quinn right before I sold my car I had a moon shaped crack that came out of no where one night. It went about 3 inches up and was about six inches short on each side from going all the way across. I actually pressed it to make it curve back down. Passed tech and ran 120+ no problem. I did make sure to distract the tech guy and draw attention away from the windshield. They don't put polish on the windshield so it won't be too hard. Just brag about all the cool gadgets you have. It worked for me three times.

You better report back what she does. I have been waiting to see what all that time and effort is going to net you. I will go by trap speeds as seat time will net better et's obviously. Good luck and have fun. Oh yea don't break and remember to slip your clutch.

That may help control all that "spinnage" that the 2.4L torque will give you come launch time, . Hold on and good luck. You more than likely will run a shit time but it should take a few runs to get some solid passes.
