Topic: Question on caging our air cooled monstrosity

Quoted from the rules on this site
Windshields and wipers. (Stock windshields, true Lexan, or circle-track mesh are acceptable; non-Lexan plastic is not acceptable.)

We are trying to figure out a rear window solution am I understanding that just about anything we want can be put back there?

I'm not sure they would pass plexiglass, and you wouldn't want sharp, brittle plastic shards heading at you anyhow. No glass works fine, and is required at some tracks and for Chump.

I'd just leave it out totally, less surface area to fog up.

Re: Question on caging our air cooled monstrosity

To be fair that really wasn't a question about caging the 914.  Are you asking because of the rear kickers?

i left the back glass in on the buick, it's actually pretty nice when driving it as there's less turbulence in the cabin. VERY HANDY when you're racing in cold weather (nelson ledges). not to mention it's easier to communicate on the radio.

yup kickers go back to the rear shock towers, actually we will be running chump so I guess leaving it out will work.
