Challenge drag race question

I know they follow NHRA generally. NHRA requires Windows to be rolled up. What if my car has a roof but no side or rear window. Will probably run in the 14. What am I faced with? Window Nets? Temporary plexiglass side windows?

7.9 WINDSHIELD, WINDOWS

Windshields and/or windows on all cars, when called for under Class Requirements, must be of safety glass, Plexiglas, Lexan (Polycarbonate), or other shatter-proof material. Windshields and/or windows must be clear, without tinting or coloring, except factory-tinted safety glass. Competition number decals are permitted on any window, windshield or backlite, except as noted in Class Requirements. Tape of any kind prohibited on any windshield or window.

7.10 WINDSHIELD, WINDOWS, Stock-bodied vehicles

Mandatory, must be in good condition and free from cracks. May be replaced with shatterproof material, 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) minimum thickness. Windshield may not be cut for scoops, carb, etc. Windshield/window tint must meet the applicable government requirements. Windows must be closed during races, need not be operable. Decals permitted on rear quarter and rear window only.

I ran last year with no top and my windows down.

And yes I plan on running faster than 17 seconds this year.

I ran windowless last year 94 mph no comment on the times.

In reply to Andy Neuman:

Did you have a wind shield?

I know the challenge is not an NHRA event. And at an NHRA track I have run my road race car that does not have side windows period has a windshield but no side windows. When I ran my road race car it was a test and tune night and was not a sanctioned NHRA event. But of course my road race car had a full cage. I was hoping do not have to make plexiglass side windows just to run the challenge drag race

My challenge car will have a windshield a roof and no cage. I was hoping that the rules would be a little flexible on challenge participants since it is not an NHRA event

In reply to singleslammer:

Yes, my car had a windshield but no sunroof.

i'd do window net just for personal safety

Lets say one was to build a ghettocet. Would a window net be sufficient?

Can we get an answer on this also? Since Andy ran windowless can we assume side windows aren't required? Back window? I understand needing a windshield.

In reply to Stampie:

They will probably let you run unless they think you will go fast. If you run fast they probably won't let you run again. Why ask for permission when you can ask for forgiveness?

Note: I'm going to have Windows this year.

They'll know it's going to be fast. It's going to be the most kick ass Infiniti there.

I need to replace the windshield on my caprice

In reply to Antihero:

Challenge car or normal one?

In reply to Stampie:

Challenge car. It caught a rock sometime in its past

My cars windshield survived a natural disaster with only a starburstonly crack. Gonna have it patched so it doesn't utineersrun into a long crack.

Cars gonna be slow in drags so maybe it will slide by the scrutineeers

The drivers windows and the hatch didn't fare so well. UThe passenger window was unscathed so I sold it for $20.

In reply to Antihero:

It's not too hard to replace one yourself. I put a used one in my Miata last year. I got the tool (image bottom) and Urethane adhesive from Napa. I destroyed my trim getting the old one out so I just used black silicone caulk to fill in the gap. No one ever said anything about it even when I sold the car months later.

Tool

This might be the reason I never sell another car for $50

But I do have an extra junky Q45 again... Hmmm
