Eric,
I'm not trying to debate the roof panel again, I understand that it is now a legal modification, I'm just trying to debate the point that I would have already paid for a installed lexan windshield with the price that I've paid for all the chipped and cracked glass. It too is an easy install. It gives a neglible weight gain, similar to the roof panel.

I've run only PCA up to this point, I don't know, maybe they are more stringent on glass but I have to run by NASA rules and hope that it's seriously considered as not a performance modification but something to help save money in the long run. If I were looking for the performance advantage I would have went with the roof panel already.

How about Lexan or roof panel but not both

Points taken - the 5 regional directors are hashing this out now, hopefully will have an answer soon.

Wheres the, 924S' are allowed to put fender flares on the rear to allow for the same track width, rule?

Good points Eric.

The question at hand is Lexan yes or no. For those that want lexan can you supply me with the thickness? 3/16 was said to be too thin so 1/4 inch. I that what you guys want to use? If so it will be glass or 1/4 lexan. No other options.

BTW... debate is still open as of this post.

Well too late...

It was something I considered putting the proposals for 2010 last year, but it slipped my mind this time around since nobody brought it up in the last 4-5 months at least.

At this point I think it is too late to try for 2010. The reason is that it requires some nuances and debate. I wan to get these cleared up ASAP. I have a race this weekend and want to bring these concepts to the guys who may not read these threads alot.

Once I get their take I will be finalizing these with the other directors and at this point I hope to share which ones have "passed" and which ones have not even if the wording may be 100% final. Then putitng actual works in the rules document. From there one more look by the regional directors and on to National for final approval. It will take some time to do all this so that is why the dicussion period is ending Nov 30th.

Definitely 1/4 inch for me. I have 1/4" coated in my Turbo car, at 140+ it still flexes a little, I can't imagine what 3/16's would do.

Not that the N/A will come close to that speed anyhow....
