Cracked Wind Shield
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 8:26 amDo 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.

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?

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