Cracked Wind Shield

[sbrewer]

Do you guys know if I can enter an auto cross with a cracked front window? This will be my first auto cross if I can make it I don't want to show up at the crack of dawn and get turned away.

Cracked is OK, Broken is not.

[TheStig]

ouch.

Is there limits on windshield damage too? I can understand a small chip or crack, but what if the crack runs all the way across the windshield? Wouldn't flex during the runs cause the cracks to travel or even shatter?

[ttweed]

The front glass is laminated with a safety film in between layers. It will not shatter.

[TheStig]

for some reason I thought a windshield was very similar to tempered glass, hence will explode like tempered.

Wait, I have an aftermarket, uh oh...

[paul-silver]

Doesn't a crack in the windshield count for 2 points?

[TheStig]

yea! you're taking .000134 oz of glass off the car! That's a significant difference
