    Windshield

    Someone was so pissed that the engine let go in the 55 that he threw the steering wheel up on the dash and broke the windshield. I wonder who did that? It's cracked right across the drivers side. Without searching the rules (who reads those) do I have to replace it prior to MSRC?

    It's subjective. If it would obscure your view and/or catch sunlight badly, I would urge you to replace it.

    Since TWS will be gone I think it's safe to replace windshields now. That track seemed to always find a way to crack my windshields in the past.

    My black car was cracked for awhile and it always passed inspection. Just look to see if it's cracked or part of it is shattered? I ran mine several years cracked I think-finally replaced it the week before it was totaled.

    That's it. I'm leaving it alone. I guess I could draw a line across it so I had crosshairs to aim with.

    My current windshield suffered a similar fate when the car shot a ramp out for the eleventy billionth time while trying to load it on the old trailer.
