Wipers on your helmet I HOPE!!! NO GLASS IS PERMITTED...$1,000 fine from the speedway if glass is found on the car!!!!

[DerbyN8-128]

Is that fine for real? If so that is ridiculous. :lol:

[critter]

of course on my helmet , i read the rules lol

[CJfilms]

That is for real...

Grandview Speedway's regular Saturday night drivers run on tires that can cost as LOW AS $150 each..... If we start breaking glass or bringing in debris.....they will have a fit! I'm not taking anyone's side here...that rule is what it is. The speedway has requested us (the outside series) that no glass be brought into the pit/track areas. We don't have a choice in the matter and I am not going to argue the point anyways...

Besides, you cannot race a dirt track with a glass windshield. First off, the dirt/mud that gets kicked up will cake onto the windshield making it nearly impossible for a driver to see...and secondly, even if you ran the whole race with your wipers on ludacris speed and a spare 5-gallon tank of washer fluid as back up, you would not be able to keep the whole window clean and clear.

Grandview has stated a $1,000 fine to literally chase the idea of bringing a car with glass away. I have to stand with them on this matter.

[DerbyN8-128]

Oh I agree. I just think the fine is funny :lol:

nd secondly, even if you ran the whole race with your wipers on ludacris speed and a spare 5-gallon tank of washer fluid as back up, you would not be able to keep the whole window clean and clear.



Have you ever been to the Pagoda Junk Car Race and the Pagoda Motorcycle Club in Birdsboro PA? There are guys that run that exact setup, no lie. My buddy Jeff ran a 5 gallon Igloo water cooler with a fuel pump in it to push the water to windshield squirters. I have seen other variations of the same setup as well.

nate last few races at pagadoa no more winshields , have to run like we do in neets , i agree 100 percent on the no glass on dirt rule , sorry joe didnt mean to start something here , i was talkin about my hemet with wipers and rain x

[critter]

i just heard 85 for sunday no rain

[DerbyN8-128]

yeah it's going to be hot and dry...again.

At Pagoda, the windshield rule is new this year isn't it? My buddy ran one last fall there. I never did so doesn't matter to me. Can't wait until they move the track to the new location though.

[EnduroFromDE]

have yous ever heard of tear-offs, not expensive and works...

[DerbyN8-128]

I did, and used them for the last race. Worked well.
